Save the Date -- Saturday 9/21/19

The Khaki Weedout and Barbecue/Pot Luck will be held on Saturday September 21, 2019 at 5:00pm at Sunshine. It should be cooler by then. Please join your fellow gardeners as we make a concerted effort in our battle to control Khaki Weed. (Wear Gloves). Martin Morales gardener and barbecue master will have his rig at Sunshine for the carnivores. Please bring a side dish or dessert to add to the feast. A "survey monkey" will be sent out shortly so we can plan accordingly for attendance.

Faces of Sunshine

Another Sunshine gardener will be highlighted next week. This week we are highlighting one of our eight legged friends in the garden: A Wolf Spider.

Those are her babies all over her back. She'll carry them around until they are large enough to make it on their own. Maybe a few weeks. Cool, right?
