PLANNING AHEAD

It's official!! Saturday, September 22 will be the first annual Harvest Spaghetti Dinner!! We are very excited, but there is much to do. One of our main goals is to serve (max 200 people) sauce made with veggies from the garden. Please keep this in mind as your tomatoes ripen and you get excess of zucchini, peppers or herbs. If they can be frozen or preserved until that time all the better :-)

Based on one recipe we roughly need

134 lbs fresh tomatoes
66 medium onions
133 cloves garlic
 8 cups fresh basil, chopped

Anything we can get is GREATLY appreciated!!

Many Thanks!

Roy's Bountiful Produce

Woah! 43 pounds of potatoes!!

Veteran Garden Members Return

One thing these recent soil tests failed to show us gardener’s is the renewed interest in our Sharing Garden.  Please note the intense interest our ‘two newest gardeners’  have show in our garden.  They may even consider applying for a Sharing Garden Application to get on our garden plot waiting list.

Thus, please remember to make sure the garden gates are closed and locked as you leave the garden.

Have a good “Gardening Weekend.”

Beautiful Weekend = Busy Gardeners

The weather was fantastic this weekend and the garden was buzzing with excited gardeners playing int the dirt! I finally had the time to plant my seedlings. I feel like a kid on Christmas day every time I walk over to the tap to fill my watering can!!! Everyone's plot looks great! I am excited to see all the different methods and plants grow.

Happy Gardening!

GRAND OPENING SUCESS!

The grand opening was a HUGE success we had over 100 people visit the garden. A wealth of gratitude to all who came, made donations, signed up for plots, and volunteered their day and time.

We had yummy goodies, drinks and kids activities. Kim Norris' Brownie troop 5339 lead the kids activities with bubble blowing, coloring, pine cone bird feeders, and seed planting. It was a cold day but a great success!

Plots are sold out and we have a waiting list. Water will be running in the garden by next week. All plots are rototilled, and pathways are mulched.
