RE: largest community garden?

H* A*

Comrades,

Sounds great!  We'd need an impartial verification/judging  panel  ( is
there still a "Ripley's Believe It Or Not?" ) and a great flowing supply of
adult beverages.  I won't be at the ACGA conference this year ( busy season
at work) but this meeting  might be a great place to start the garden
"Ripley's". I'll contribute fer sure.

Best wishes,

Adam
