    In looking thru the Food posts, looks like not many folks are bringing food (or are bringing food BUT have not listed it here on this thread). For planning purposes, please list what you are bringing so we know if we have enough or are lacking.

    Please sign up to contribute Food to our Potluck which begins @ 12noon! All that plant swapping makes us hungry!!! Plus this is the part where we connect with our old garden friends, and make new garden friends :-)

    We need some chicken/fish/meat for the grill, as well as beverages, and supplies (paper plates, plastic forks/knives, plastic cups, trash bags)

    Here's a recap of what folks are bringing so far:

    Salads ~

    • Salad (from Bonnie/GardenWatch)
    • Salad (from Sue /Sujiwan)
    • Either soup or salad (Shadysite/Lisa)
    • Hummus dip, pita bread & veggies (Shadysite/Lisa)

    Desserts ~
