GARDEN CLUB- DAY DIVISION (continued)

October was an active one because we managed two workdays at the dam, one for the regular monthly weeding and a later one for planting the hostas we divided and transplanted from the lovely gardens in Rochester we had visited last summer with Althea Weeks. Althea was also our guest at our October meeting, when she challenged our gardening knowledge by checking our identification abilities of the seeds and seedlings she brought with her. She called it “Stump The Chump.” Most of us were stumped, but all were rewarded with seeds or seedlings, whether or not we could name them! The club also had its last highway pickup of the year in late October.

We thank the Evening Group for inviting us to join them for their “Dining With Randy” harvest dinner, which was the social highlight of the month for both groups. Chef Randy Brisson prepared and served a three-course dinner to forty appreciative diners, explaining each course as it was eaten. There was a lovely soup, followed by glazed roast pork with fall vegetables and a delicious peach and blueberry cobbler, each course a special treat. Thank you, Randy, for being such a good friend of both our groups.

Thanksgiving will be here all too soon. Enjoy your families!
