F&G GARDEN PANIC PICK – THIS SUN PM & MON AM!!!

Temperatures are supposed to drop below 35 degrees on Monday night, which means if the forecasted low holds, Mark says we need to pick everything in the garden except sweet potatoes (think beans, peppers, tomatoes, melons, okra, etc) before Monday night. Please plan to come out and lend a hand if you can. Volunteer hours are:

Sunday, 2-4 pm
Monday 9-11am

Please keep an eye on the forecast. If the forecast changes and temperatures are expected to stay above 35 degrees on Monday night, we will not need to be in the garden on Sunday.

See you in the garden!

Tim Goldman
