T-shirt design competition
Voting ends at midnight Sunday - November 23
Three designs tied with the most votes, and a run-off is necessary. (Just like the real Nov 4 elections). The T-shirt will be gray based on the recommendation of our vendor, a gardener, who thinks it the best color for active gardeners.
If you have not voted, please VOTE using this link to choose the design of your choice.
Holiday Potluck Gathering
Saturday, 6 December, 5:00 pm
Mark your calendar and plan to join your fellow gardeners to kick off the Holiday Season. Please bring a dish to share. No speeches, great food, scintillating conversation, music TBD, door prizes, and opportunity to buy the newly designed Sunshine T-shirt.
Rabbit Update
The rabbit trapping continues with success. Hopefully your gardens are doing better.
If you spot any animals of any kind in the traps, please send a text message to the telephone number on the trap, or email Stewart at: elmer@math.austin.tx.us.
Also, please report any NEW rabbit sightings to the above address, giving the date/time seen, and where seen, including plot number if known.
A Big Thank You to our Volunteers
Thanks to all who turned out on a gloomy Saturday morning to help replace the plastic on the greenhouse and clean up the interior. A special thanks to former gardener, Jesse South, who lead the plastic replacement activity.
