From the Registrar: August 1, 2025

Hello Gardeners,  

Workday opportunity: There will be a workday next Wednesday, 8/6 at Eagle Heights Gardens from 9 am –12 pm. The group will meet at the EH garden shed at 9 am. Ten volunteers are needed. The workday will be for weeding and weed whacking common areas. Volunteers should wear long sleeves and bring gloves. Please email me if you’re interested and I will assign the spots in the order I receive replies.   
No unattended use of water permitted: Please remember that you must be present while watering your garden. This means no sprinklers left running if you are not at your plot. Leaving a sprinkler running prevents other gardeners in the community from using the spigot. It’s also more efficient to water in person. Much of the water that comes out of a sprinkler evaporates, especially if it’s running during the hot part of the day. Overhead watering is also more likely to spread plant diseases. The most effective way to water your garden is to soak it close to the ground.   
Weeds: It has been difficult to keep up with the weeds this season. Please take the time now to remove taller and/or flowering weeds from your plot, including the sides and back. The paths and edges between plots have become overgrown in many places.  
There are a couple more plants to add to the list of things to look out for: 
Thanks, and happy gardening,    
Lily
