- Hi Eli! I was just thinking how useful it would be if you posted something in the Forum about the Relocalization Meeting on 10/18. I don't think there is any info on this site about it. I would not even have known about it except someone I ran into happened to mention it. Thanks!

Ed Sugrue said… - Eli, who were those people from Medford, at the meeting on August 3? They sat directly across the table from me. They were talking about a neighbor of theirs who has an incredibly elaborate, incredibly productive garden. I would like to try to see it, sometime before the summer is over!
