From the Registrar: June 28, 2023

Hello Gardeners,

Planting for fall crops: If you’d like to start another round of planting for Fall crops, this is a good time to start thinking about it. Many things, like greens, beets, radishes, and more, can be planted a second time in July or August. Johnny’s Selected Seeds has a useful chart available here with planting dates. Scroll down and see: “Fall Harvest Planting Calculator”: https://www.johnnyseeds.com/growers-library/online-tools-calculators.html?glmmftrdlst The average date of first frost that’s already in the sheet (10/1) will work for Madison.

Maintenance reporting form details: It’s important to use this form for reporting maintenance issues to ensure that the information goes to the right people as quickly as possible:

Use this maintenance reporting form for things like:

• Water issues: Leaks, dripping faucets, non-functioning water, etc.
• Reporting trees that need removal
• Trees fallen on plots

Do not use this maintenance reporting form for:

• Plot border questions
• Gardening questions
• Reporting weeds, either in your own or another plot
• University Apartments maintenance requests (Here is their form: https://www.housing.wisc.edu/apartments/maintenance/ )

Workday opportunity: There will be a weed whacking and clean-up workday at Eagle Heights Gardens this Sunday 7/2 from 4-7 pm. We will need three volunteers. Please let me know if you're interested and I'll assign spots in the order I receive replies.

Thanks, and happy gardening,

Lily
