Bernie's Notes

A number of TCN readers have told me they are tired of transportation news, however they are very interested in gardening news. To better serve my readers, the TCN will be changing tomorrow to the GCN…the Gardening Communications Newsletter. Like the TCN, there will be numerous categories of news, including trees, vegetables, mulch and pests. I hope you enjoy the new newsletter and I look forward to a bountiful harvest in the fall. Please note today's date.
