Hello Gardeners,
Workday opportunity: There will be a workday at Eagle Heights Garden this Friday 5/24, from 9am-12pm. The workday will be weeding and mulching fruit plantings. Six volunteers are needed. Volunteers should wear long sleeves and bring gloves for thistles. The group will meet at the EH garden shed at 9 am. Email me if you’re interested, and I will assign spots in the order of replies.
Continuing weed pile issues: Last weekend, multiple cart loads of soil were dumped at the Eagle Heights weed pile and wooden poles and sticks were added to the pile. The pile is also now extending out into the path and surrounding area. The weed pile at EH should stay behind the concrete barriers. The blue stick barrels have been moved further to the side where the sticks should go to make it clearer that they are separate.
Signs have been posted at both gardens about the weed pile rules. I included a couple of photos below this message. Please only dump weeds in the weed piles, and only dump them in the designated areas.
Row cover still available: If you missed the row cover sales but you would still like to buy some, please let me know. We have plenty of row cover! The pieces are approximately 7 ft x 20 ft and they are $5 each, cash only. Row cover is very useful for protecting seedlings.
Parking at University Houses Gardens: Apartment Facilities has let us know that they will be using the parking lot at UH during business hours for a short period while they have parking lots resurfaced. The start date was not certain, but it will only last 7-10 days.
