Hi Carrie and thanks for the response!
No...well, maybe? I didn't know there was a "roundup" or what that is, actually! I haven't ever been to a DG-event, but, if my health permits me to do so, I would be thrilled to go to this. The problem is, my life-partner does not my gardening passion share. :-( So, I don't know if there is anyone from my direction who is attending and coule, perhaps, give me a ride. I can't drive, due to seizure disorder and five artificial joints--no, that was not a typo, as this is for real (knees/hips/left shoulder due to a condition known as Avascular Necrosis or AVN--some call it "Osteonecrosis") . But, I would love to come, what it is a "roundup" and could you send me a link to the details, please? I can at least drool at the thought of it and, perhaps someone can take and send pictures of the happenings to those of us whose not-so-healthful bodies are forever getting in the way of doidng things!!! Thank you so very much!! This is appreciated!

Most Truly Yours,

The picture below is of the "hunger garden" which I faithfully and relentlessly supervised last year where all 2100 lbs of the fruits, vegetables and herbs--plus some flowers--were grown for the express purpose for donating them to the region's largest food bank, serving 7 communities in North Central Massachusetts which graciiously gives to it's clients some 2 tons of non-perishable groceries, some perishables that could be frozen, butter, ground beef, etc. A total of 60 families were served each session. This year we hope to double the amount grown and donated. Hope you like the picture with it in it's hey-day! We are doing it again and we hope to hit the ground running starting on April 25th (The Saturday, I believe) with a Ground-Breaking, and to ready the soil, remove any stones that may have worked themselves to the service, till in the composted sheep manure, apply the thick black mulch that we used, plant the wildflowers, since they are heartier, most times, than the regular annuals, though I have suggested having some simple drop-cloths at the read in case of a hard freeze after the flowers have sprouted.

Ciao for the Moment,

Blessings,
