    Phil says: Weed wack, pull weeds, water, chit-chat, plant some new ones, pull some old ones. Now is the key time to set the tone for the garden for the year.  No new weeds will sprout up and new plants will have a good chance to mature. Bring any new plants you want to contribute. Bring your gloves, and your favorite implements of destruction.  I'll try to predict your needs and bring a truck load of tools.
