Gardening and Iced-Tea Anyone?

Pink Buddleia is attracting butterflies galore!

This Friday, July 8th will be a garden care group time once again. Gathering time is around 8:30 am or whenever you can make it (this is very, very informal!). Obviously we have had loads of rain so watering won't be necessary. I haven't been out to the garden this week yet, but I would imagine weeds have grown a lot in the past two weeks. I know they sure have in my own garden and probably in yours. Weeds just love the rain and heat.

I'm not sure I can make it. I have an appointment a little later in the day, but I'll do my best to be there. If you think you will be coming, why not reply in the comment section below (you can do this simply with the anonymous url but sign your name in the message so we can tell who is coming and who is not). I've already heard from Elizabeth who might join us. Given that the heat is awful and she is pregnant with twins, we will find a something appropriate for her to do (harvest veggies to share?) :)  It will be great seeing anyone who makes it.

After we work (without watering, this shouldn't take that long), we can go out for iced-tea or morning coffee. Guglhupf was great last time so I vote for Guglhupf once more!  See you soon!

  1. Our LS Giving Garden will be hosting a garden tour for Earth Partnership Program participants on Wednesday, July 13th. Barb Kanoy, MS Science Department Co-chair and Grant Parkins, Natural Science Educator, NC Botanical Garden, UNC/Chapel Hill will coordinate this field trip. Best of labor to the Friday, July 8th gardening crew! Thanks for your time, energy, efforts and preparation for their visit. I'll be returning to Durham next week. :} lcs

  4. Katherine and Elizabeth and anyone else--I will not be there on Friday morning. My haircut appointment is earlier than I thought. I can work another day--just let me know what is left to do.
