    I will be weeding under the picnic tables and putting down a harder surface that will be more feet- and eat-friendly. I have discussed pavers with Jill but I am reconsidering, leaning toward gravel (presently very pleased with gravel paths in my own garden plot, if you haven’t noticed them yet). Would there be any money available for the gravel and edging material, Jill? Obviously I would like to do this before judging this year.

    Hey gardeners,
    Does anyone out there have a pick-up truck? I’m asking because in order to finish our patio for the picnic area we need to get more gravel. The gravel is in Germantown so the trip would not take a huge amount of time. A pick-up truck is needed.
    Thanks,
    Ginger
