Irrigation During the Drought Season

15 years ago

Ever wanted to know how to "get 'er done" when it comes to irrigation?

Me too. That's why I'm stoked about the speaker for the Fall Middle TN Plant Swap. Our speaker this time is Alyce Dobyns-Ladd, BFA, MS - a teacher at Vanderbilt in the Department of Physics & Astronomy and a Master Gardener in Middle TN. Her topic "Irrigation During the Drought Season: The Professional way, the Box-store way and the Recycled way!" is sure to be an interesting one.

The plant swap and gut busting meal aren't anything to sneeze at either. For more information, check out the MPTS webite for all the details

Thanks Zig!

Speaking of gut-busting...let's all remember to bring some good grub!

Well, it looks like we won't be bringing the KFC this time.

Cathy informed me this evening she bought a Boston Butt for me to smoke. Hope you folks like pulled pork BBQ.
