Comment by Steven LaGraffe on December 7, 2010 at 11:27pm: Thank you both and hopefully it will come together

Comment by Ed Roberts on December 7, 2010 at 10:55pm: Sandra, you can telephone me at 796-8597 when we get a delivery date.

Comment by Sandra Thomas on December 7, 2010 at 9:52pm: I will call tomorow morning and let you know if they have any available and when they might be able to deliver.

Comment by Steven LaGraffe on December 7, 2010 at 7:46pm: That sounds good to me. We also need some to fill in over the areas that I have cardboard sheet mulched in order to finish that off also. Sandra can you maybe call and set up a delivery to the garden and hook up with Ed so that he could go by and open the gate when they come to deliver the load. It would be way cool to make this happen, Let me know. Thanks, Steve

Comment by Ed Roberts on December 7, 2010 at 10:01am: I can be on call to open the gate. Let's get some to use as weed cover between rows.

Comment by Sandra Thomas on December 7, 2010 at 6:49am: I got some for my yard one year and it filled up the area next to my driveway all the way to the street and 2 to 3 feet high. Thats over 8 feet long by about 4 feet wide.

Comment by Steven LaGraffe on December 6, 2010 at 8:08pm: Sandra,
Did it say how big the load would be? We could sure use some at the garden. The problem for me is that I can not get over there during the week to open the gate as I have to work.

Comment by Sandra Thomas on December 6, 2010 at 1:58pm: I found this Craigslist posting.

Comment by Ed Roberts on December 5, 2010 at 10:52am: Dwight - We'll keep things growning there. I've been out for a couple of weeks with a bum shoulder but picked some of the NZ spinach. It's still tasty. Winter veggies are coming on, so if time permits, come out to share the harvest.

Comment by Dwight S. on December 5, 2010 at 9:54am: Folks, I've started a new job that has lots of overtime and is tiring. So, the little plot that I planted there, with the wood borders, with the NZ spinach run wild, next to where the corn was growing, can be repurposed for someone else's needs.

I have not been able to get out there for a while now. I appreciated the chance to get out there and do some hard work and try my hand at gardening.
