Guidelines that we ask everyone to abide by when renting a garden plot:
You will be assigned a plot number after we get everyone signed up, and you pay Karen.
Please don't start planting until you have paid for and been assigned your plot.
You must water and weed your own plot (Al often comes by and waters everyone's plot when
he waters the sunflowers and the roses.)
You must clear out your plot of all plants by December 1.
