Looks like we will have a great crew this coming wednesday 6-8. Come on down! We will be (hopefully) building the last 4 bins, spreading compost, moving the old compost bin in preparation of the arrival of our new shed, trimming raspberry bushes and whatever else strikes our fancy.
A few folks have plots that are not yet prepped or planted- If you need help with ideas about how to do this, make sure you come down.
We still have a couple plots that are not yet assigned. I hope this is the last week the plots will be open. If you have someone interested in gardening, bring them down and claim a spot! Any unclaimed plots are fair game for newcomers who come this Wednesday.
Also, we will be doing a compost sale- so if you or your neighbors have need of some rich and amazing and cheap compost- bring a bag, old recycling box or other large container. We will sell the compost for $2 per large pot or 3 pots for $5.
See you in the garden!
