[TheUWfarm] Farm stuff this week and To-Do list!

Hi all,

News: Carrots and tomatoes don't know it's Finals week! They still need watering, trellising, and general TLC.

I will be at the Farm most of the day tomorrow (Tuesday) and at various times Wednesday-Friday. If there's a specific time in there that you'd like to come work on the Farm with me and/or whoever else might be around, email rachel@uwfarm.org to get connected.

Good luck with everything! Don't forget to get that Vitamin D.
