So the write up on avocado's is on page 50. So many have asked me to write something about them and we got two pages of info published! yea!! https://nelliegailranch.org/wp-content/uploads/Pony-Express-6-2023-Web.pdf Excited to see them in print---next month will be about our bumble bees--- I know so many of you are going on vacation so we are going to do a lighter version of the garden group with more social interaction and a few field trips if anyone is interested. I am really busy in July with a trip and kids coming a week apart--with the grandbabies too!! But Aug. might be clear---after the 5th. Let us know if there is something you would like to do or need some help with. This cold spring/summer is a real pain---and no sun is really bumming us out. I just pruned my tomatoes and replanted the tops along with some raspberries TinaF. and I went and bought. Along with some peppers-Does anyone else grow raspberries? We are gutting the front yard as well and I was so happy to give a neighbor a lot of cuttings!!!!!! I wrote to Burts Bees to see if they could come and give us a talk---they did write back and said they would see if a Rep. would like to visit?? So I am waiting to hear back---that would be fun I think---but still waiting now---if it doesn't pan out I am thinking we can always try and see if other groups are interested in giving a talk. Pamala Fraser had to cancel her bee talk--she said she was so busy with swarms now. So we are free to do what you would like on June 23 at my house---Diane Marcus is not feeling well---those summer colds are the worst--Get well soon!!!! I keep you on notice if the Burt Bees people can come. If not we will find something fun to do. TinaC.
