Time Flies and Weeds Grow!

I can't believe it's already mid July! The garden is doing great, unfortunately so are the weeds around it. With the use of newspaper, paper bags and straw I have been able to keep weeds out of the garden. The surrounding area is another story. They weeds have shot up in the last few weeks from being a few inches tall to a few feet tall! The best way to combat these bothersome plants is to pull them by hand or cut them down. Before I can do that I need to have enough paper and straw to cover the cleared area. This will keep them from growing back and create some much needed raw material to roto-till back into the soil in the fall or spring. If anyone has paper, grass clippings, leaves or anything else to suppress weeds please drop it off at the farm. THANK YOU!!

Our First Meeting - July 2nd 9am

The Goshen Farm Community Garden - Get Dirty Eat Fresh - will have its first group meeting tomorrow July 2nd 9am behind the farmhouse at the garden. It will be an informational meeting to discuss plans, ideas and suggestions. Please bring a blanket or chair to sit on. Feel free to email me if you need directions. I can email a packet from the meeting to those who can't attend but are interested.
