Dear Gardeners,
We had over 2 inches of rain this week already and the plants seem to have doubled in size overnight. Hope that the transplants and seedlings in your plots have survived the deluge. We also are starting to have more insects and the toads must be happy for that. Unfortunately, the weeds have enjoyed the rain too and have become a priority for gardeners.
This Thursday, we'll have a workday at University Houses gardens from 5 to 8 p.m. on June 5 to work on common plantings and paths.
Sunday, June 8, we'll have a workday at Eagle Heights from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. to prepare a bed for sunflowers and tend to the weed pile and arbor plantings.
Please reply if you would like to work one of these opportunities and I will get you more details.
This is a community garden which means you all have a stake in seeing the gardens prosper. Please help out where you can and pitch in to pick up trash, help newcomers find things, exchange gardening information and be a good neighbor in the gardens.
As we get to the warmer months, check out Jenn's blog for some tips on watering your garden:
