Veggie Garden meet – July 11 @ Garden

Jul 11 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Hi Bear Den,

I propose to meet at the garden on July 11 around 7:00 PM to check on the veggies, bring one or two wheelbarrows of mulch if needed and water the plants a little bit.

Our plants should have some cherry tomatoes ripe by then and maybe we can harvest some beets as well.

Let me know if you can make it or not.

Thank you

Dan Filipescu
