Pass out “May in Your Garden”-Tomorrow review the Table of Contents and as you review it, and make a note of each in the Table of Contents of things you would like to do or consider, for easy reference.  Also, I would suggest you file these in a 3-ring binder for reference.  When you have each of the months in your binder, you have what you should do for the entire year, even if you never receive another Month in your Garden.  Also your notes in the Tables of Contents can remind you of things that you didn’t do last year.
