Glad to hear that your garden is coming ...Barbara,<br /><br />Glad to hear that your garden is coming along - a week behind sounds about right, considering that you're a little further north. My oldest son graduated from Berry College, so I know a little about your area! I, too, am a little concerned about the lettuces and the heat, but we will just have to see what the next few weeks bring.<br /><br />About our funding for Plant a Row - every county is organized differently, and in Cobb County the Master Gardeners have one BIG fundraiser every year in which everyone participates, and the funds are distributed among the various projects. We don't have a separate fundraiser for Plant a Row; we did, however, apply for and get a grant this year from GMGA for funds that will go toward an arbor (with any extra money going toward a nice sign for our space). <br /><br />Also, since we are moving to a new space, we were given more money than usual from the county group, and we are very grateful for that!<br /><br />The big fundraising event does include a plant sale for which I have potted up divisions of quite a few plants from my yard. By the time of the sale (early May), they should be big and happy. If you'd like to talk about Plant a Row or our fundraiser sometime, let me know. I'd be happy to hear about another, nearby Plant a Row project!

Hope it won't get too hot to bother the broccoli transplants - 87 yesterday! Potatoes are sending up little green leaves and the lettuce looks a lot like yours. Again - hope the heat doesn't have negative impact on lettuce. My seedlings are about a week behind yours I believe. I saw the first little set of true leaves on the Roma seedlings last night. Can't wait to get home from work and see what this day has brought. I'm eager to move them to their own little pots.<br /><br />I know you are very active in Plant a Row. Next time you have a community event please let me know - especially if it's on a Saturday. Do you participate in or organize any type of Plant Swap? I am interested in organizing one for a Master Gardener Fundraising project to benefit Plant a Row. I'd like to know how other groups organize. I'm in the Rome/Floyd County area.Barbaranoreply@blogger.com
