TIRES 'N TATERS!

We finished our plantings just in time for this past weekend's rain-fest.  No doubt the seedlings are jumping for joy in their new "digs".  Sandy and Cal Jenson spent much of their Memorial Day weekend planting.   Thanks to Mike Murphy for once again generously donating tomatoes, kale, eggplant, and marigolds. 

We have started our potato tire towers with two towers forming in the South bed.  This is an experiment for us and we have no idea what to expect, so we have also planted potatoes in our raised bed to give us a comparison. 

Planted to date:  Potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, carrots, radishes, and kale. 

Let the growing begin! 

Garden Work Day - This Friday, May 23rd 9:00 a.m.  We will be preparing the beds and continue our clean up in the garden area.  Bring your work gloves, a rake, and some elbow grease! 

Our workday last Friday was cold and rainy, with some snowflakes to boot.  Despite that, thanks to Cal and Sandy Jenson, we completed repairs on the lattice wall and continued cleanup of the garden area.  Our beds will be tilled this week and hopefully we will have planting done before the weekend. 

Elvis is ready to get to work!  Let's hope the weather continues to cooperate, allowing us to accomplish some of our tasks tomorrow, Friday, May 16th. 

On Saturday we will receive our seed packets & seedlings from the Seed Hub (Gardening Matters).  I am excited to see the new varieties they will offer this year.

Work day (once again) postponed due to cold weather, rain & wind.  :(

Garden Work Day - Friday, May 9th 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

With the recent rains, we will not be able to get the rototilling completed, but there are plenty of other tasks waiting to be accomplished.  Bring your work gloves, a rake, and clippers.  We'll be tackling some trimming and cleanup. 

GARDEN WORK DAY POSTPONED

Due to weather conditions and soaked beds, (as well as a funeral at church) we will be postponing our work day to Friday, May 9th.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  HAPPY MAY DAY!
