[Green] Happy news and a question

[Dawn Hewitt]

Thank you, Rebecca!

Poison ivy has indeed sprouted: on my left hand and on my chin. Tiny blisters, but still itchy. I'll survive.

I'm sorry to say that I have no experience with expandable/retractable hoses. Lightweight is a great idea. 

Yes, I do think we should offer mystery daffodil bulbs at the Flower Communion service, maybe suggesting $.25 per bulb, which could be collected on the honor system. 

Do we need to establish a watering schedule for the riverbank?

I went down today to check on the site and found that the new plantings seem to be settling in well--and no new poison ivy has sprouted! And more good news: the city has corrected the water pressure problem we had on Sunday, so I was able to water everything with a hose. Have not purchased one to dedicate to the site yet, but someone donated a giant plant container that will actually make a perfectly fine hose caddy.

I took two kitchen trash cans of bulbs to the volunteer working on the Harmar School riverbank and estimate that we still have over a thousand left (maybe more--there are three forty-pound bags and two large containers at my place). Realistically, how many do we want to return to the site? Should we perhaps make them available at the flower communion and ask for a donation to the church? Other ideas?
