From the Registrar July 7, 2021

 Hello Gardeners, 

 

Parasitic wasps: The parasitic wasps have been ordered to combat the Mexican bean beetles and should arrive next week. We have some plots to put them in at Eagle Heights, but we still need a place at University Houses if bean beetles have been found there. If you garden at University Houses and have beans, please check for beetles and let me know if you’d be willing to host some wasps. 

 

What can you plant now? A few gardeners have been wondering if it’s too late to plant. It’s not! There are still things that will do well and produce a crop if planted later in summer. There are some planting guides on our website that are a good reference if you’re interested.  

Under “How to”:  http://eagleheightsgardens.org/gardens/organic-growing/ 

 

Spots still open for UH workday: We still have a couple of spots open for the University Houses workday this Sunday from 9-12. Please let me know if you’re interested.  

 

Thanks, and happy gardening, 

Lily
