Good afternoon, Garner Growers

We’ll finally get a good Saturday workday from 10am-1pm today. This will be the last Saturday before the teenagers come on the 16th, so we will mostly be cleaning up. About half of our enclosed area was mowed or whacked with the weed eater on Tuesday and it looks great (thank you, JT and Jon — and William)! We’ll continue with some of that. Another top priority tomorrow is cleaning the chicken coop. I will pick up pine shavings and bring a tarp to make it all quick and easy. I wish I could say odorless, but probably not.
Service day projects for June 16th:
sunflower house and potato condo
moving mulch
building raised beds
cleaning up the blueberry patch
repairing the drainage ditch
creating a pole bean bed next to the fence
If you know you can be in the garden at 9am next Saturday and are willing to run a project, please notify me. I need to make sure we have enough adults present to run at least 5 groups.
Hope to see you in the garden, psyched about all the great projects planned for next week and ready to get to work!

Hello, all
 
I waited to send this workday announcement out because I wanted to see what the weather might do. They are still predicting some chance of rain tonight and in the morning. At this point, since it is not raining now, the workday is still on. I will see what conditions are like when I wake in the morning and send out another email.
 
Regardless of weather, there is a community information meeting at Southeast Regional Library at 2pm. It would be nice to have current members there for support but if you can’t make it or if you saw the presentation at the last meeting and don’t feel the need to see it again, you are forgiven and absolved.
 
See you in the garden (maybe)!

Well, you all missed it! Not your fault though, since we had to do it on Sunday instead of Saturday. Take a look as you drive by. It’s wonderful to see it changing.
 
At this moment, our landscape and design guru is finishing up three beds, to which we will need to add compost and shape into mounds on Tuesday. Anyone who can make it out Tuesday at 5pm, I beg you to come. We’ll have some tools there, but if you bring a shovel, rake or hoe, that’d be great.
 
We’re inviting the paper out for next Saturday’s workday from 10am-2pm, which we’ll call our first seed day and the pictures will look better if we have lots of people.
 
As usual, if you have questions, email or call me.
 
Happy groundbreaking!
