Hello: This article needs to be read by every gardener and parent who will send  children to the garden this year. We must use every safe, organic means for insect control; after an exceptional mild winter. this applies not only to mosquitoes; but also other plant pests.

We need to insure that people begin to understand how our growing of herbs can contribute; not just to the taste: but also, to the abundance and health of our crops at Carrie McCracken Truce Garden.

the recent decision to retain the collective Herb box; managed by Jen needs
To be acknowledged. And we need as well to ask each box holder to plant
Appropriate herbs and flowers among their veggies or in pots near their plot.

I have Snow peas, onions, sugar beets seeds, ready for planting. My Garlic
Is doing well and will be ready for transplant distribution soon. I will then give
My box to a new gardener.
