Albuquerque Garden Center Clean Up
The Albuquerque Garden Center had its Spring Clean-up on March13. Thanks to Penny Alley, Diane Kolb, and Edith Iwan, we cleaned out the weeds, turned the last year’s mulch into the soil, & added the nitrogen (grass) fertilizer recommended by the soil test results. We also received soil ordered by the Garden Center for the garden beds. That was a plus for the day!.
