Hello Gardeners,
Weed and garbage dumping: There was a recent report of some gardeners dumping their weeds and garbage in another gardener’s plot. All weeds must go to the weed pile and all garbage must go to the dumpster. These things can never go in common areas or in other plots. I know it can be a bit of a walk to the weed piles or the dumpsters from some plots, but these are the only options. All returning gardeners have the chance to move plots when renewing. So, if you find the distance to the weed pile is too far for you, please consider asking if there is a spot open that is closer when you reapply for next season.
Tall plants and trellises: Please remember to only plant tall things and put trellises in places that will not shade your neighbors’ gardens. A trellis or patch of tall sunflowers can create a lot of shade, so they should particularly be kept away from the Northern side of your plot. A trellis that runs North-south will block less light in your garden than a trellis that runs east-west and is a better option to maximize sun exposure for your plants.
Workday opportunity: There will be a weeding and wood-chipping workday at Eagle Heights Garden tomorrow, Friday 9/1 from 3-6 pm. Four volunteers are needed. Please email me if you are interested and I’ll assign spots in the order replies are received.
Thanks, and happy gardening,
Lily
