Reminders; Garden Workday this Saturday, June 12; "Garden Roulette!"

[jay schlegel]

Hi again, fellow SMLC Community Organic Gardeners,

 

 

A Few Reminders:

 

Weeds:  Please keep weeds from going to seed in your plot.  Please control weeds in the walkways next to your plot.  Please do not put crabgrass in the compost pile until it is dead, since it will just start growing in the compost (allow it to dry out completely first).

 

Tools:  Please take a moment before you leave each day to clean off the tools that you have used.  Scrape/Wipe off accumulated clay/weeds.  This will help our community tools to last longer!  And, please return tools to the appropriate location so that the next gardener can easily find them (shovels in one pail, hoes in the other pail, small handtools in bucket across from spigot).

 

 

Garden Workday, this Saturday June 12, 10:00am - noonish.

 

Help us put the 'community' in our community organic garden by helping out with various tasks for a few hours this Saturday:  1) turn the compost pile; 2) inventory, organize, clean, sharpen, and/or repair the garden tools; 3) remove weeds in the walkways, next to gateways, and along fences; 4) rototill the fallow plots; 5) make reminder signs.

 

AND, if you participate in the workday this Saturday, you will be eligible to participate in "Garden Roulette" -- a chance for all of the other workday participants to help you in your plot with whatever needs to be done for 30 minutes at the end of the workday!  Must be present to win.

 

 

We hope to see you out at the garden this Saturday!
