How's the garden?!

Hi All,

I am back from vacation and I can't wait to see the garden! We are having a load of beautiful oak woodchips delivered today from our favorite friendly neighborhood tree service Bratt Tree Company. Thanks Jon!!!

Wednesday we will be leveling the shed, removing the wheels and settling it on some blocks. Come down at 6pm if you can.

If you are in the garden when no one else is there, feel free to fill the water barrels and shovel woodchips into the paths starting at the front and working back (It's difficult to push a wheel barrel over fresh woodchips).

I hope to see you this Wednesday!!!!

change in workday schedule

Hello neighbors!

Let's try something new with the workdays! Saturdays have turned out to be quite lonely in the garden and a few folks have said that Tuesday works well for them. Let's try Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the garden through this month.  So our workdays will be:

6:30-8:30pm 

Tuesday, July 9th and Wednesday, July 10th

Tuesday, July 23rd and Wednesday, July 24th

Let me know how this works for you!

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!
