Good Morning Vegetable Gardeners!
Please
bring wheelbarrows, rakes and shovels to complete laying down wood
chips. Also Larry would like for the wood chip pile to be GONE! So we will be
covering up the grass pathways in the new garden. Please bring your
saved newspapers, brown paper shopping bags (not the glossy ads please)
to lay down over the grass before we pile on the wood chips. We will
also be stringing up the fence, planting beans and harvesting some
spinach.
Please note that the workdays will occur every
weekend and will follow the Saturday/Sunday exchange from now until the
end of the growing season as follows (please also note that at some
point we will switch from 10am to 9am as the weather warms up;
an announcement will be made):

Pest Management Committee:
May great thoughts and ideas have come across the list serve. For those
who have chimed in and perhaps those who were involved with the Ducks
would like to move over to a Pest Control Committee. This
is extremely important and we need to begin planning ASAP for
very likely onslaught of stink-bugs, harlequin bugs and whatever else
may be lurking in the shadows. On the bright side I noticed yesterday
that we have a lovely crop of ladybug larvae and adult ladybugs on our
flowering clover in the garden. And a helpful article about squash bugs
here: http://www.rosalindcreasy.com/managing-squash-bugs/
Compost Committee: We
also need a group of folks who are committed to rot and decay. We are
fortunate that Larry is a Master Composter and can offer much in the way
of teaching us how to create a working/sustainable composting system
for our garden.
If you are interested in being a member of one of these committees please send me an email at meaghan@meaghancarpenter.com or tell me this Saturday.
