CALLING ALL FELLOW REVELERS:  It’s time for the Big BK Seed, Etc., Exchange.  The BBSE will take place in Kensington, Brooklyn, on  SEPT. 17, 2011, 3-6 p.m.  We hope to see a lot of people there – the more participants, the better the seed pool, and of course more revelry for all!  Please RSVP by sending an email to Revelgardener@gmail.com with the following information:

1.  Your Name & Email Address

2.  Your Blog (if any – or FB page, or anything else you want to promote)

3.  Seeds You Have (please specify whether they’re heirloom, how long you’ve had them, if they’re commercial, etc.)

10.  RSVP – if you want to participate in person and meet fellow gardeners in Brooklyn, tentative dates: 9/17  in the early afternoon.  This will be a gardenluck – I’m asking everyone to bring at least one dish to pass that has something grown from your garden (be it a backyard, windowsill, or dashboard).  Also calling on anyone with special expertise in any area of gardening (with particular plants, planters, composting, etc.) to give a quick talk on tips to help your fellow revelers.
