Re: what is WITH this weather!

We had classes on creating rain gardens, raised bed gardening,  
underused and unusual trees and shrubs, growing and using herbs,  
beginning vegetable gardening, herb butters and breads, heirloom  
tomatoes, coleus, designing a perennial garden, perennials for a  
tropical look, and body smart gardening. Our keynote speaker was  
Carol Reese on the "Wilder Side of Gardening". We had 6 vendors who  
were there the whole day. A MG couple provided 30 dozen homemade  
chocolate chip cookies and the extension provided coffee and tea, so  
morning snack was free! Admission included a box lunch. I ran the MG  
used garden book, magazine, herb and houseplant sale (we didn't get  
as many books or plants as we would have liked, but sold what we  
had). Don't have the final figures or the tallies of the satisfaction  
surveys yet, but I think it was a success! (Even DH enjoyed himself.)
