Row Cover workshop postponed one week. Guess why?

[Sue Sullivan]

Robert feels it will be too sunny and warm to properly demonstrate row
covers this Saturday (haha). We are hoping it will actually be sunny
and warm NEXT Saturday. All the salient details remain the same.
Please RSVP. We have only 4 RSVPed now and those folks should re-RSVP
since the change of weekend may mean that you cannot make it anymore.

So RSVPs by Monday, April 22 (Earth Day, by the way).

Stay warm. Eat lots of bacon. And if you have extra, drop it by our
house. We're out, and the kids are despondent.




On Saturday, April 27th at 10 am HGF member Robert Howard will conduct
a workshop on how to build an inexpensive, versatile and durable row
cover that can provide frost, wind, and hail protection, depending on
what you cover the frame with. The basic material is an $8 sheet of
7×3 1/2 foot concrete reinforcing mesh available at Home Depot and
Lowe‘s. The cover can be designed with legs that allow you to raise it
as the garden grows and can be covered with plastic for frost
protection, row cover cloth to keep pests out and lessen wind damage,
or doubled up deer netting to provide hail protection with minimal
loss of sunshine.

This workshop will be held in the food garden of Foothills Unitarian
Church at 1815 Yorkshire Avenue, Fort Collins. Robert will demonstrate
the construction of a frame and provide instructional materials to
guide you in building your own covers at home. RSVP by Monday, April
15th, please. If there are not enough responses, we will cancel the
workshop. So please get your RSVPs in.

And the church address is Yorktown Ave not yorkshire. Just north of
Drake and east of Taft Hill.
