Hello Dundee Community Gardeners,
Five more plots were taken today... we're growing every day! We have 17 plots still available. If they're not taken soon, we'll start giving out second plots to those on the waiting list. (Let me know if you want to be added to the waiting list.)
Thanks to everyone who helped on the plots tonight. And thanks to Doug and Jeff who offered to keep the garden mowed over the summer!
We got lots of the community plots tilled tonight-- we'll finish up tilling on Saturday morning.
Our next group work day will be Saturday. We plan to have a presence at the garden from 10-3, as we're encouraging people who are at Dundee Spring Fling (11a.m. to 11 p.m.) to stop by the garden between 10-3. Also, you'll be able to purchase plants at the garden on Saturday. Julie Wasser will be selling vegetable starters at the garden site from 10-10:30, and Rebecca Bloom (from Bloom's Organics) will be selling plants from 12:30-1:30.
What we'll be working on Saturday:
*Assembling picnic tables (thanks to Grandpa's Food Mart for donating funds to purchase them! We're getting two from Lowe's)
*Pulling weeds and adding compost to the beds that were rototilled tonight (the big compost pile of Oma-grow is for the community beds)
*Rototilling the remaining beds
*Planting the raspberry bushes along the west edge of the garden
*And starting to plant the community beds.
Please bring any extra starter plants (flowers and vegetables), and any perennials you have divided, on Saturday, so we can start filling the community plots. We also hope to start planting seeds in the flower beds on Sat.
Of course, you are always free to to work in your own plot whenever is convenient for you.
See you at the garden,
Mary
