if your green thumb is green

i’m horrible with plants. it’s only under the watchful spirit of my grandma that there is but one plant surviving in my house (the peace lily i got when she died two years ago).

but many in the rock river valley are great in the yard (my neighbors on both sides included).

for those who are interested in “green” strategies, the general public is invited to attend the university of illinois extension state master gardener conference sept 11-13 in lombard. thanks again to margaret larson from the local extension office for the tipoff.

the master gardener program is pretty cool. there are more than 3,000 volunteers in the state committed to helping people “learn how to grow.”
