Back issue. The Denman Firestarter did not exist on 2020-05-14. This edition was compiled on 2026-10-01 from the public record as it stood on 2020-05-14, and contains nothing dated after that day — no outcomes, no hindsight. It is a reconstruction of what was on the record at the time, not a document from the time. This edition.

Heron Rocks Friendship Centre is planning a modified version of its annual plant sale for May 24 and 25, offering tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers.^[1]

The newsletter says the growers had started their seeds before COVID-19 restrictions took effect, and the centre decided to make the plants available in a safe way.^[1]

To avoid crowds, each grower plans to sell plants at their own location, with one person at a time at each plant table and physical distancing requested for people waiting.^[1]

The sale is scheduled for 11 to 2 on both days; the newsletter lists one-gallon tomatoes at $5, with other plants priced at $3 and $4.^[1]
