Hello Garden Friends,
A few items:
Lisa Ferolo has been diligently working on the fenceposts and they will be in on Wednesday (tomorrow night - 5/26). If we could get some helpers who are willing to pound in some fenceposts, that would be fantastic (bring hammer/sledge!). If you think of it, please also bring some pliers to bend the fence ends into shape.
Also, I have some sturdy T-posts for staking up the tomatoes. Perhaps we can install those in the big garden tomorrow night too?
I am working on getting some additional plants for the big garden, if we get those in time, we’ll plan on some planting tomorrow.
If anyone is available for weeding but can’t make the specific garden times, the smaller garden could use some periodic weeding — we have a lot of volunteer tomatoes and some volunteer sunflowers. We got a lot of them out of the smaller garden last week, but if you like to weed and have some time over the next few weeks, please stop by whenever you can and pull some weeds. Now that the weather is warm and we’re getting a lot of sun and rain, things are really starting to grow!
My back has ben bothering me so I am not personally up for installing fence by myself. If you can make it out tomorrow night, please reply to this email to let me know if you can be there.
We also could use some folks to lay down some newspaper and straw around the tomatoes that are in the ground. If you’re not up for fencing, there is plenty of other work too! Everyone welcome!
As always, thank you for your support and dedication to the garden!
Greg
