My title seems an appropriate name for an unmemorable beach novel, and speaking of the beach, that is where I’m currently located. My family nabbed me away from the garden for a week to spend indulgently along the panhandle of Florida. As for the garden, I hear we received showers the other day, and the process of installing our drip-irrigation system is underway. (And Kathie Shafer sighs out of relief after paying last month’s waterbill for Kline) Frank, Adrian, and I trust this will prove an efficient means for everyone, so we can start focusing on pest management and the financial side of this business. Who would have dreamed gardens would become businesses? The Zinnias are shyly saying hello as they receive the award for our first flower blooms from seed. I sneak away from the library for my fifteen minute breaks to constantly check on them. We hope to post some pictures soon. And we received great news from Mark Wirtz, the Dining Director of Messiah College. Lottie will pay premium prices for our precious plants (too much alliteration?). Don’t worry CSA members, we might have some left overs for you. We also agreed tentatively to start a composting programs. Mr. Wirtz truly acted graciously for this program. Lots more news to come. I have billions of sand granules for my feet to sift through. Peace brothers and sisters, Dan
