I'm going to a Gardening Fair on 2/2, with 3 sessions taught by Master Gardeners. I have a lot to learn about growing plants in a place that's 2 zones cooler than MD/VA. Such a short growing season here.
Have fun at that gardening event, Robin! I am going to try to attend these Brunswick sessions but it depends on my son's wrestling schedule--many times he has Saturday matches.
