Dear Friends & Family,
I love looking at the moon phases and sunrise/sunset charts to the left each week. It helps me notice those events in my daily life. I hope you find the charts useful, too.
The April issue of CATALYST is out.
It contains our annual Planting Guide, a handy pullout you can put on your fridge to remind you what needs planting when.
Below is a list of this week's picks.
