Hi Jonathan. I've been in Tulsa at a conference. Just got back. Haven't had chance to get my plants into the soil yet! Have to work 3 nights this week as well. Next weekend I'll be there, plants in hand! I hope I won't be thrown out of the plot holders group for not planting yet?! Please let me know if that's OK. Helen

I was thinking about that last night as i was going to sleep watching it rain cats and dogs too :)

This morning of course i went out to look...

the pond was not holding much more water ! - Although i'm sure it will migrate there over the next couple days...

I also think this rain is gonna make the garden sprout up in leaps and bounds this week ! Cant wait to see and to keep working on the labrynth with everyone !

Hi Jonathan - I hope to make it tomorrow, but it depends on my schedule. I was at the garden this a.m., and I noticed a white pick-up that pulled up and just sat there - seemed to me they were waiting for me to leave. They did not look familiar to me, so I took down their license plate just in case. It's 442XAO. I drove around the block and they were still there. Driving away, rom a distance it looked as if one of them was in the garden. Anyway, I know Sandy encountered someone at some point, so this may or may not be related. Take care. Kay
