Take care,
Bonnie

- Hi, Greg,
How are you doing? I see that you have dropped out of our Mission Way Baptist Church group. I am so sorry. Did I do something to offend you? We really miss your expertise. The vegetables are all doing quite well, but we are suffering from gopher damage - lost 4 more tomato plants and one of the summer squashes. We are going to be harvesting some zucchini and summer squash tomorrow, Saturday, 6/26. Would you like to drop by after 10:00 a.m. to pick some up for yourself?

- Hi, again. I just read your full comment. When I clicked on the reply in my email it showed only part of the comment. Please accept my sympathies on the loss of your cat. Did the Master Gardeners' sale have any veggie starts? I liked that Santa Clara group. I studied there in 1993 or 1994, took all the classes but didn't do the volunteer hot-line hours, so never received my Master Gardener's certificate. See you soon, Bonnie

- HI, Greg,

- Hello Greg,
My garden workshop at South Bay Community Church went well on Sunday, March 28,2010. My church congregation would be willing to help you,but they need more information on the various community garden projects before they get involved. I've been trying to get LEAF members our to talk about their program to the church. Maybe you might be interested in talking? I will be at Mission Church on Saturday, April 3,2010 to work. Please e-mail me. See you soon, Beatrice Ross

Do you know of any opportunities in green building or sustainable building design? Thank you, Greg.
