Garden News and Notes, June 29, 2000EVENTS YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS It's Tacky Yard Art time! Time to get out the camera to snap all those eyesores around town (revenge!!) or to show off your own very clever yard decorations. This is the fourth annual contest, and it's bigger and better than ever, with many really great prizes. Plus, we are being mirrored at ,Gardenreview.com where it is easy for you to upload and post your own entries. And later we'll all be able to vote for our favorites.

In the words of John Lingle, "Cut the salt and cut the fat! Herbs and the grill were made for that." Check the Lingle's Herb Newsletter for lots of ideas on garden herbs for summer cookery.
