[Garden] summary for Thurs May 29

[Derek Lindman]

Use Graphite on the lock.  WD-40 will only damage the mechanisms inside the lock.

> However, remember that the temperature at the UW weather station is

> So your plants, that are most likely closer to the ground, may have some 
> frost damage."
> Glad we played it safe.

> -- It's supposed to rain Friday and Saturday -- a free watering for us.
