Thank you to everyone who helped out at Dundee Day! The carrot was a big hit in the parade, and everyone (especially parents) seemed to love the mini-carrots that we tossed to spectators! We've still got plenty of re-usable mesh produce bags for sale (set of three for $5)-- they will make fabulous holiday gifts and stocking stuffers! Please pick up a package, or maybe ten-- we'll have them for sale at our weekly work days as well as our September events.
Now is the time to get in your second planting of cool weather crops such as spinach, lettuce, arugula, radish, peas, etc.
Friendly reminder to restrain your plants: With the cooler weather, and even occasional rain, we'll be mowing the garden again soon, so please remember to keep your plants inside your garden plot so the lawn mowers can get by.
Workdays on Saturdays: We continue to water and harvest on Saturday mornings, starting at 9 a.m. Working members, please make sure to come (suggested at least once a month) to put in your hours and help out.
Upcoming Events:
Seed Saving workshop, Sat. Sept. 22, 10 a.m. at the Dundee Community Garden. Lori Huebert will teach how and why to preserve seeds from your favorite varieties. FREE!
Tour de Garden, Sun. Sept. 30 (note date change) 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This will be a fun bike ride, starting at Aksarben and visiting many Midtown gardens including the Farnam Farm, Dundee Community Garden, Benson Community Garden, City Sprouts, and Gifford Park Community Garden. There's no better way to see many local gardens than by bicycle! More information coming soon.
Fall Clean-Up Oct. 6 All members, please plan to attend our Fall Clean-Up scheduled for Sat. Oct. 6, from 1-4 p.m. All plots must be cleaned out before you can renew your membership for 2013.
