GEM gathering

15.0412(14)-23 On April 12, my dear fellow members of the Gardeners Exchange of Millsmont (GEM), descended upon my overgrown and neglected backyard for the monthly get-together. The grand effort was just in time! as I’d been holding off on getting my tomato starts in the ground until I had a chance to clean out the weeds and overcrowded irises from the planting beds.

The planter is getting some long overdue weeding — And then, we got down to the back breaking business of … weeding.
