If roses grow in Heaven then pick a bunch for us place them in our Mothers arms and tell her they’re from us. Tell her that we miss her and when she turns to smile place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. Rememberin­g is easy we do it every day but there is a hole within our hearts that will never go away.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY & HAPPY BIRTHDAY beloved wife of David Gambrell, children Sandra, Jim, David, Richard and Families 11 grandchild­ren and 3 great grandchild­ren new podcast centred around potato farming has been launched by the P.E.I. Potato Board.

Spudchat will give listeners insight into the potato farming industry and share tips on pest and disease management, soil health, crop rotation and more, according to an April 26 release.

The show is hosted by Ryan Barrett, research and agronomy specialist at the P.E.I. potato board. New episodes will be produced every Wednesday, with the first episode up to listen now, said Wayne Townshend, chair of the P.E.I. Potato Board.

“Farmers are getting informatio­n in a variety of different methods,” said Townshend. “Podcasts, which can be downloaded and listened to at a convenient time, maybe when in the tractor or the truck, is another way to share informatio­n on innovative technologi­es and improved practices with our membership.”

It is also available on Spotify, Stitcher and other podcast platforms and will be available on all other major podcast directorie­s in the coming weeks.
