That's an old mountain saying... you can trade or do something for the person giving them, but you can't 'thank them'. <BR/>Just wondering if you've heard.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866441973361457681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-84958119536131116922009-04-07T21:56:00.000-04:002009-04-07T21:56:00.000-04:00I think helping the school is great!

I'll start in the morning removing sections and replanting with wintersown containers. <BR/><BR/>The school needs all the help they can get. Next year, I want to convince them to add veggies if they do well with the flowers.Tom - 7th Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416233066465228351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-21695215928780426442009-04-07T18:56:00.000-04:002009-04-07T18:56:00.000-04:00A great thing your doing to help the school.If you...A great thing your doing to help the school.<BR/><BR/>If you can get by without Round-up, I would. I know it's frustrating. I dug up a whole section of garden and to dig deep down to pull out the crabgrass. I'm glad that I did as that area is now one of my best flower beds (to come, since I just did this in September). <BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>CameronF Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558874651743241988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-63299447569571653132009-04-07T12:45:00.000-04:002009-04-07T12:45:00.000-04:00What you've got in oaks, I've got in Maples.

I've been reading how more and more schools are making flower and vegetable gardens to teach kids where their food comes from, how to take care of plants, environmental issues, etc. Bet you could convince the school that a WS demo next winter would be right up your alley... ;-DKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.com
