What a great garden tour today! We got some excellent tips from master gardeners who are serious about growing. Next time I'm taking a notebook to write it all down. Maybe others can post some of the things they learned from the afternoon, or at least we can share things at the next meeting. Speaking of next meeting...are we going to get together again before the next garden tour at the end of July?
I wanted to share a fabulous garden blog (not the ordinary), and hope you will take a minute (or 60) to check it out. It's called awaytogarden.com and is written by Margaret Roach. I think you'll really like it.
Looking forward to our next tour in July. Enjoyed spending the afternoon with you all.

Hey Everyone,
Our field trip to greenhouses in Tok is this Sunday 6/26 and the time has been moved up to 1 pm with our first visit to Francine and Don Lee's. Let's meet at the Refuge office promptly at 1 pm and we will quickly proceed to the Lees - they have a wedding to go to in Slana when they are done with us : ) If you have any questions you can call me at -3664.

First greenhouse tours coming up this weekend!
Hey there Tok Gardeners,
Don't forget we are having our first greenhouse tour this Sunday. We are meeting at the Refuge office at 2pm and going from there. Don't know what other greenhouses we will be visiting other than those who were at the last meeting but I guess we will figure that out when we meet. Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday June 26. You can call me at work -9417 or at home -3664 if you have any questions.

Finally! Notes from the 5/24 meeting
Hi All,
After getting home from the meeting last week I sat down to type up a few notes and couldn't find them in my notebook to save by life! Of course they were there the next morning when I looked again - good grief!
This week if I wasn't working at my paying job, eating/fixing meals or sleeping I was planting!
Here's my second attempt to post the calendar we came up with for garden and greenhouse visits this summer. This is a partial listing since there are still people we need to check with to see if we can visit their greenhouse or garden.
We choose Sunday afternoons for our visits. We will first meet at the refuge office and then perhaps carpool if folks want.
June 26 2pm Greenhouse tours
Jan Fehrenbacher
Sharon Young
and perhaps a third person who Heather is checking with
July 24 2 pm Garden visits
Carla Rallo
Sharon Young
and perhaps a couple more gardens
August 14 2pm Garden visits
Gardens to be determined once people are contacted.
For those of you who said you would contact individuals to arrange a possible visit to their greenhouse or garden, please do so and post confirmed visits on the blog - thanks! We would love to see as many greenhouse and gardens in Tok as we can! If you are interested in hosting a group visit to your greenhouse or garden on one of the dates please post a group invite on the blog!
Hope you all are having fun digging in the dirt and giving TLC to you new transplants!
