Farewell to Summer and Hello Fall

Putting The Garden to Bed On Sat. October 26 at 10 a.m.

Despite all odds, we actually were blessed with a pretty good 1st year garden. 

 

Remember the rock party last spring, where we picked hundreds of rocks out of grey lifeless "soil"?  Who could have predicted how well our little garden would grow after seeing that?   There were actually lots of zucchinis, tomatoes, pumpkins to go around.  I hope you all got some of the produce and enjoyed sharing it with your neighbors.

I'd love to hear about your efforts and experiences in the garden, as I really don't know who helped and who used it or not.  If you have any comments or suggestions, please send me a message.

We will have one last work party to put the garden to bed, this Saturday, October 26, 2013 at 10 A.M. for about an hour.  Bring gloves, shovels, rakes, etc. 

If anyone has a green city garbage can, please bring it, so we can dispose of the dried refuse that way.  We will need a few of them, so if you could let me know if you have one, I'll know if we need to arrange another disposal method or not.

I will be bring some muffins to keep up your strength. If anyone else wants to contribute a treat, please do so.

Thank you to all those who helped through the year, especially the Retzlaff's, Jacie & Patrick, who did the lion's share of watering the garden and lots of weeding.  Thanks to Len Hughes who supplied the hoses. Zelda Johnson and Sue Mack helped me weed most weekends - and to all others who spent time helping in the garden, a BIG thank you for your help.

I hope to see lots of you at the garden on Saturday for one last garden day before we give up Summer and welcome Fall.  Bye for now...
