Hello Dundee Community Gardeners,
Our next work day will be tomorrow (Sat.) from 9-11. We've gotten so much done these past few work days... I'm thinking we'll be able to slow down a little with this one. Plans for Saturday include:
*light sand and second coat of varnish on the picnic table
*planting the cucumber and zucchini bed
*watering all the beds
*cleaning up the trash/cardboard by the NW corner
Also we have a donation of some plants (eggplant, peppers, thyme, rosemary, seed potatoes, and "green sausage" tomato plants) from Julie Wasser. Eric Williams will be bringing them to the garden tomorrow. Since most of our community plots are planted, these will be available on a first come/first take basis for people to plant in their plots.
Saturday we'll also start getting more organized about recording everyone's volunteer hours-- we'll have a volunteer notebook where you can record your hours.
FYI, the World-Herald is planning to send a photographer to our garden either this Sat. (around 10 a.m.) or next Tuesday evening. They are working on a story about "is the recession helping create more neighborliness." I think it will just be a photographer, (and not a reporter), so if you come Saturday you may get your picture in the paper!
And for your calendars:
Tues. May 26, 6-8:30 Garden Work Night
Thurs. June 4, 7 p.m., Community Garden Board Meeting at Dundee Presbyterian (all welcome)
Sun. June 14, 3-5, Grand Opening and Ice Cream Social at the garden
See you at the garden,
Mary
PS All of our 44 individual plots are taken, and we have a waiting list of 12 people.
And our Facebook group has 53 members.
