M.G.s & Interns,
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and you’ve finished off the last of those leftovers – sick of turkey this and turkey that yet? Just had a cornbread dressing sandwich – yum. We’ll be back on our regular work day schedule this week, so if you’re looking for ways to work off some of those holiday calories come on out Wednesday and/or Friday. A good chance of rain is predicted for early in the week but should be cleared out by Wednesday. The cannas are starting to show the effects the recent run of temps in the 30s and will be cut back this week. Some are in need of thinning, so this would be a good opportunity to get a few clumps for transplanting to your home landscape. Would you believe that the bluebonnets are already sprouting in Ann Abshiire’s Texas bed?
Don’t forget that we have two rain barrels at the garden up for bids, starting at $25 per barrel. If you’re interested, bids need to be submitted to me in writing (e-mail, in person, or U.S. mail) by 12/10/12 and the successful bidder will be announced at the December meeting(party) on 12/13/12.
See you at the garden………
The Garden Team
