STRAFFORD GARDEN CLUB, DAY DIVISION
What a summer this has been for gardeners, flowers
flourishing early and vegetables producing bountifully. It
is hard to realize that September is here already. The club
has been active trying to keep up with the rapid growth in
our gardens near the Grange Hall and the barrels of flowers
around town. Because of Labor Day our September meeting will
be on September 13 at 1:00 p.m. at the Grange. Our speaker
from the Sticks and Stones Farm in Barnstead will talk to us
about hydroponics. At this meeting we shall also vote for
our Member of the Year and Citizen of the Year Awards.
