Reminders; Garden Workday next Saturday, July 10; Come Play "Garden Roulette!"

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 before you put them away.  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).

 

Please read Wendy's recent documents on "garden etiquette" and the June workday report.

 

 

Garden Workday, next Saturday July 10, 10:00am - noonish.

 

Help us put the 'community' in our community organic garden by helping out with various tasks for juat a few hours next 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, along fences, and near the compost/manure piles.

 

AND, if you participate in the workday, 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!  In June we cleared weeds from the "Plant-A-Row" plot.  Must be present to win.

 

 

Mark Yer Calendar: Annual Wine and Cheese Get-together, Saturday July 31, 7:00pm.  Join us as we celebrate the summer harvest!  Details TBA.

 

 

We hope to see you at the workday next Saturday!
