Hello Gardeners,
Fall get-together: Please come to the Gardens Saturday, October 8th between 11 AM and 2 pm for an informal fall get-together. Meet garden neighbors, share gardening ideas, and talk about your harvest!
Signs in Lakeshore Nature Preserve areas: A sign promoting a business was posted within Eagle Heights Gardens recently. The Gardens are inside the Nature Preserve, where signs and advertisements aren’t permitted. Please let me know if you see anything like this in the future.
Winter squash: Winter squash is ready when it turns the right color for the variety, the vines die back, and the stem is hard. Some gardeners harvest earlier to prevent pests from eating the squash, or theft, which can both be problems in our gardens. If you can wait a bit longer it will help the squash store well. Here is some information on harvesting and storing winter squash:

Workday opportunity: There will be a group workday at Eagle Heights Garden on Sunday 10/2 from 10 AM-1 pm. We will need five volunteers. Please email me if you’re interested and I will assign spots in the order people reply.
Thanks, and happy gardening,
Lily
