Ross -- sorry I have a garden work party on Saturday and am helping a friend on Sunday with her garden, so won't be available for these sessions.  Thanks for organizing though.  cylia

Hey, I forgot to mention that Robin teaches traditional skills, sustenance gardening and medicinals at Edible Landscapes (www.ediblelandscapes.ca), a nursery and teaching garden in Roberts Creek, British Columbia, and is the author of Food Security for the Faint of Heart, and Gardening for the Faint of Heart.
