shed moving today pending weather.

If it is not raining, we will be moving the shed tonight. We will need many hands for this so please come on down and bring a pal. While the strongest, tallest and most foolhardy among us fetch the new shed, the old shed will need to be dismantled and the ground prepared. There will be a perfectly helpful job available to all who come down! Hopefully we will see you in the garden tonight!

raindates, saturdays, shed and minigrant!

Happy Friday!

Raindates:
Sooo, we've had quite a bit of rain lately and many of our workdays are getting rained out. In the month of June we are moving to an every-other week format. When we get rained out on one week, we will meet the following week instead.

Saturdays:
Are Saturdays still interesting to folks as a workday? We have them listed as 9-noon. Please speak up if that is your favorite, I have not seen any action on Saturdays. I would love to change the time/day so that folks can work together in the garden.

Shed:
It is beautiful! We are so thrilled to get it in place!
It is huge and heavy (1500-2000lbs) and a little dangerous to move and currently 6 blocks from the garden.
We are looking at finding car dollies to put under it to roll it over.- Let me know if you have a set! We will also need a strong and numerous crew on a dry day to make this work. I'd like to try for next Wednesday. Please let me know if you can come next Wednesday and we can build a plan of attack.

Minigrant:
We have received a $500 minigrant from The Wedge Co-op and Powderhorn Empty Bowls! This minigrant will partially find the shed and will help us purchase tools for the garden. I am especially excited about getting kid sized/ kid safe tools for the garden once we have the shed in place.

See you in the garden!





Feliz viernes!


Raindates:

Muuuy, hemos tenido un poco de lluvia de los últimos tiempos y muchos de nuestros días de trabajo son cada vez llovió. En el mes de junio nos estamos moviendo a una cada dos semanas formato. Cuando nos llovió en una semana, nos reuniremos la semana siguiente en su lugar.


sábados:

Son sábados sigue siendo interesante para la gente como trabajo? Nosotros los hemos catalogado como 9-mediodía. Por favor hablar si ese es su favorito, no he visto ninguna acción los sábados. Me encantaría cambiar la hora / día, así que la gente puede trabajar en el jardín.


Cobertizo:

Es hermoso! Estamos muy contentos de hacerlo en su lugar!

Es enorme y pesada (1.500-2.000 libras) y un poco peligroso para mover, a 6 cuadras del jardín.

Estamos buscando a la búsqueda de plataformas de automóviles para someterlo a rodar por encima -. Déjame saber si usted tiene un sistema! También necesitaremos un equipo fuerte en un día seco para hacer este trabajo. Me gustaría probar para el próximo miércoles. Por favor, hágamelo saber si usted puede venir el próximo miércoles y que se puede construir un plan de ataque.


Minigrant:

Hemos recibido una minigrant $ 500 de The Wedge Co-op y Powderhorn Cuencos vacíos! Este minigrant encontrará parcialmente el cobertizo y nos ayudará a comprar las herramientas para el jardín. Estoy especialmente entusiasmado por recibir cabrito herramientas seguras / cabrito de tamaño para el jardín una vez que tengamos cobertizo.


Nos vemos en el jardín!

No shed moving tonight! Too dangerous in the rain!!

Need hands tonight for the new shed AND are you planted yet?

Hi All,

Our new shed will be arriving TODAY! It is so very beautiful and we are really excited!

It will take many of us to put the shed in place. We will use the first hour or so to prep the space and take apart the old shed. I expect we should be ready to put it in place around 7/7:30. We will need as many strong people as we can get as the shed will be very heavy.

Please let me know if you can make it for the workday tonight at all between 6-8pm or if you can come for a couple of minutes around 7/7:30.

The garden is looking more beautiful every day.

For those of you who have not planted yet, please confirm with me that you are still interested in gardening this year or I may reassign your plot to folks who want a bit of extra space. For those of you who want a second space, let me know!

Also, if you want the old shed, speak up!
