UPDATE: Jenn phoned me with the news that Q13 TV is coming TODAY—that Tuesday, June 22. They’ll probably arrive with cameras 2:30-3pm. So come with weeding tools and in your “most authentic” gardening togs.
If you haven’t had your 15 seconds of fame yet, here’s your chance. Jenn Coe, farmer for the Food Bank Garden, send this message around this morning—
“Hello fellow gardeners,
I will be at the Wax Orchard Farm tomorrow afternoon and so will Q13 T.V.!
They would very much like to meet our volunteers, so come, weed and be famous!!! 
I will be working 9am to 11:30 or so and then again 2pm to 5pm. Q13 is expected in the afternoon. Call if you need directions.
You can also join us at the Sunrise Ridge garden on Wednesday 9 to noon and then back at the farm on Thursday morning, 9am to noon. If you would like to help, but these times don’t work for you, please call so we can arrange a better time.

The Beachcomber published their story on the Food Bank Farm last week. I know that the media often steals story ideas from each other… somebody at Q13 must be reading our local rag!
Karen Dale gardens on the south end of Vashon Island, on a sandy hilltop overlooking Quartermaster Harbor. "Garden On, Vashon" shares what the Island has to teach us about gardening HERE—from making soils to sowing seeds to raising plants to harvest, cooking, preserving, and designing new ways to cultivate your little chunk of Vashon Island.
