Compost

There is quite a bit of compost/stuff in front of the garden! It looks and smells good, but I don't know anything about it! I'll assuming its Second Start's to use, so we should get it off the street and into our plots as fast as possible. Everyone take a wheelbarrow load or two. And we have some compost, thanks to Katie Martin. She and her children have been building and turning the compost piles diligently. Please do your part and add vegetable matter from your gardens, leftovers from the kitchen (no meat or fat), no bindweed or other seedy weeds but young innocent weeds like sunflowers and dandelions and tops of comfrey are OK. And Adam, Joy, and Paul have collaborated to bring us some manure. They are set to bring more this weekend (I think) and will need some strong bodies to transport it into the compost bins East and West.

Volunteer Opportunity this Wednesday

This Wednesday will be another chance to hang out with other gardeners and get some work done to take care of our beautiful space. We need a bunch of people willing to rake and shovel mulch to fix some of our shared paths. I'll be there 6 pm until dark to answer questions and head you in the right direction.

We had a fabulous workshare day today. We had a fantastic turnout for the new-gardener meet-and-greet! Thirty-seven people! I got to meet many new gardeners and hang out while eating pizza in the sun. We cleaned up the garden and freed our perennials from debris. A big shout out to the people who helped rip out the old compost bin on the east side and pour concrete for the new bin. That was hard work! Please let me know right away if you do not want your photos taged with your name (children's names are not published online for security) . It's a good way to connect names with faces so that we can get to know each other. And you are invited to add photos and comments to our Facebook site, as a fan. Talk to me if you want to contribute to the blog.
