July 11th - Ventura Produce Exchange

I haven't even had a chance to thank all that attended our last exchange and now it's time for another.  Last exchange was set in a beautiful example of a square foot garden. Thanks Kate for hosting over 20
participants and tempting us with your yummylicious spiced brownies.
