Weekday Strawberry Picking
On Wednesday
and Friday evenings this week, May May 27 and May 29, members stopped
by to harvest the strawberries that are ripening faster than we have
been picking them. We will continue to harvest strawberries every other
day while they last.
Workday - May 31, 2015
It
was a hot workday with 31 households attending today. It was decided
to make the change and begin workdays at 9:00 moving forward now that
the hot weather is here. Work that got done today included weeding the
asparagus bed and sprinkling the bed with road salt to kill the weeds -
but not the asparagus. It seems asparagus like salty conditions.
Weedblock fabric was installed with staples near the northern perimeter
of the perennial bed to halt the Canadian thistle from taking over. A
crew worked the composte bin and augmented mushroom composite, adding
this mixture to several of the beds.
Lots
of harvesting was done - the majority of lettuce and cauliflower, all
the arugula (which had started to flower), beets, pea pods, and
strawberries. There was a large surplus that was transported to Our
Daily Bread in Larry’s pick up truck.
Who can I contact for more information about joining the community garden in 2016 or to get on the waiting list?
