Hello Gardeners,
Thistles: Please look around your plot for Canada Thistle and pull up any plants you see. They have not started to bloom yet, but they will soon. Once they bloom, they will go to seed and spread. https://www.mda.state.mn.us/plants/pestmanagement/weedcontrol/noxiouslist/canadathistle
For the last couple of years, we have had a few people act as “thistle monitors” to keep the Canada Thistle at bay in the communal areas between weeding workdays. Please let me know if you’re interested in doing this!
Volunteers work independently to pull thistle from areas like the blackberry patch and borders.
Standing water: Please turn containers upside down in your plot so they don’t collect rain. Standing water in plots will increase the mosquito population in the gardens by providing a place for them to lay eggs.
Another bricks and blocks workday: There will be one more workday at Eagle Heights to clean the broken bricks and blocks and the tree island. It will be held this Thursday 5/25 from 4-7 pm. We would like two volunteers. Email me if you’re interested, and I will assign spots in the order of replies.
Thanks, and happy gardening,
Lily
