Saturday April 5th Beth R. is putting on her annual Potting On party to pot tomatoes for her greenhouse operation and we're invited. Yay! (Well, T is not, so I'll have to pass. They've had children and dogs at this event in years past and it just hasn't worked out well. Keeping the varieties sorted properly takes concentration.)

Beth says she stays very busy keeping things organized so there's probably not a great deal of time for her to stop and chat. But it would still be a great opportunity for community-building and an up-close look at awesome Canyon Bounty Farm. Aren't we lucky ducks to have them here?! Let's support them and get involved. Mark your calendar and find a carpool!

Here are the details, forwarded to us by Beth:

Hello One and All -
We planted tomatoes earlier this week and thought I should let you know I will have the Tomato Potting On Party this year. (Sorry, I/we took a break last year.) So mark your calendars for Saturday, April 5, from 9 a.m. - noon. We'll take all those little tomato plants and pot them up into larger containers.
In case of cold weather, we can move into the barn and work under cover. Otherwise, we'll be outside under warm, blue skies.

What you bring:
If you have time, bring a finger food snack to share with others.
Gloves (I have some but maybe not enough)
Coffee / Tea mug
Dress in layers so you can shed coats as the day warms up

What you shouldn't bring:
Children
Dogs

What you'll find here:
Hot coffee, tea, juice
Coffee cake
Some gloves
A couple thousand tomatoes needing your help, and
a most appreciative farmer.

I'll send out another email reminder as we creep towards the planting date.

Thanks for your help. - Beth
