You heard right!
I'm not sure how long the sale will last,
but they are ripe ready for freezing or making jam.

Relay for Life
Are you looking for something to do tonight?
Come out to- Canyon State Academy
20061 East Rittenhouse Road
Queen Creek, AZ
Tonight from 6:00pm- 6:00am is the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.
How many of us know someone who's life has been touched by cancer, and wished we could do something?
Many of you know Marie Spence who use to be in our ward. A dear friend of hers is currently going through cancer treatments.To support her they have formed a team that will be walking tonight. Their team is walking for Rachelle.
It sounds like a fun evening. There will be lots of booths selling things with all proceeds going to the Cancer Society and a raffle with some really great baskets to win.
If you have sometime tonight come cheer them on!

Gardening Calendar!
This link will open to a pdf chart.
It is a locally created "Planting and Harvest Calendar" for the Phoenix Area (low desert) that comes highly recommended.
We are slightly cooler than Central Phoenix so it is a good general guide.
To summarize, now is planting time for:
Beans (almost past time),
Peppers (will blend their 'hot-ness' if close to each other, so space them out as much as is practical for you if you want sweet peppers to stay sweet),
Squash (all of them: zucchini, pumpkin,..),
Eggplant,
Sweet Potatoes, (wash the kind you like to buy (it has sprouting inhibitor chemicals on it) and leave it on the counter until it sprouts; then cut a big chunk including the sprouted portion and plant it. I hear it grows like a weed here.)
Sunflowers, and
Melons (all of them: cantaloupe, watermelon,..)
If anyone would like to do an herb garden, leave a comment below. I would love to split 6 packs of plants. I am interested in doing Parsley, Cilantro, Basil, Marjoram, and others with very little convincing. :)
