Hello Gardeners,
Workday opportunity: There will be a workday at EH this Friday, August 29th from 9 am -12 pm. Ten volunteers are needed. The group will meet at the EH garden shed at 9 am. The workday will be for weeding and weed whacking. Volunteers should wear long sleeves and bring gloves. Please email me if you’re interested in one of these workdays and I will assign spots in the order I receive replies.
Weed piles: Please only dump weeds inside the designated weed pile areas at both gardens. Recently piles of weeds have been found dumped in other areas of the gardens. This creates extra work, as these weeds have to be moved to the piles.
Saving tomato seeds: Tomato seeds from your garden can be saved for starting seedlings the following spring. If you would like to save seeds from your favorite varieties of tomatoes to plant again next year, it is a fairly simple process. A gardener shared a guide that’s easy to follow here: https://www.thespruce.com/how-to-save-tomato-seeds-1403292
Additionally, this page from the UW Minnesota Extension has useful information about seed saving from a variety of crops: https://extension.umn.edu/planting-and-growing-guides/saving-vegetable-seeds
Thanks, and happy gardening,
Lily
