Dundee Community Garden This Week

Hello Dundee Community Gardeners and Friends,

Thanks to everyone who helped with the Fall Clean-Up on Sunday. We dug up approximately 700 pounds of sweet potatoes!!! We donated two loaded grocery carts to the folks at the Underwood Tower across the street, another 25 pounds or so to the immigrants at the Yates Community Center, and of course our members who helped with the fall clean-up all got a good supply to take home. 

Every year we've increased our food donations-- this year, 750 pounds total over the course of the summer!  Congratulations and thank you to everyone who helped us with these "community plots!"

PLOT CLEAN-UP  All gardeners are responsible for cleaning up their individual plots.  You must clean out your plot in order to get a plot  next year.  You will need to bring a yard waste bag for cleaning out your plot-- out compost bins don't have enough space for the plant materials from 44 plots!  Please set the yard waste bags out with your city yard waste pick-up-- or set out with a neighbors if you live in an apartment and don't have yard waste pick-up.  (The city does not pick up at our garden site.)  

Please have all plots cleaned out by Nov. 1.

END OF YEAR SURVEY:  We are again asking our members to complete the brief survey (attached) to give us your feedback on our garden's third season.  Please take a couple minutes and fill out.  Return to Mary at megreen4@cox.net, or if you wish to be anonymous, you can mail it to our treasurer Deb Hickman at 1227 N. 53rd St., Omaha, 68132.
