Molly, my plot has been overcome by Bermuda Grass.  I've done some
research and the only cure (and there's no guarantee) is multiple heavy
doses of some chemicals.  I don't know what to do but this stuff is
going to be a problem for everyone if we don't do something (I'm not
sure what that something is but the non chemical solution is going to
take much more than I'm capable of).  Would you please ask RA what they
might be willing to do about this.  Thanks!

Subject: Leaf Mulch for HW II Garden

Hello all of my fellow gardeners! I found out yesterday that RA will be
delivering a load of leaf mulch to our plot either Thursday or Friday
this week!

Wonderful news for the folks who have the time to clean up their plots
and start prepping for next year!!! This is my little wake up call that
I might need to get out there myself...but only if the temps reach at
least 45 degrees!!

Enjoy this fall mulch delivery! And have a wonderful winter!

Molly O'Boyle

PS: We, the Garden Plot Coordinators and RA, are planning a meeting of
gardeners in February that will be a pot luck type of event! There will
be many helpful topics to aid in your successful harvesting next year!
So, please plan to be there!

I will be sending out information as soon as I get it so you can put it
on your calendar!
