Fall clean-up

We're planning a trip to the City compost depot with all the sticks and heavy material which has accumulated in our compost piles.  Soon we will arrange for a truck or trailer to accomplish this task.  If you're willing to help load it up, please e-mail Cheryl and let her know your evening availability.  We'd like to get this done definitely before Thanksgiving. 

In the meantime, rotten produce can go into the black composters and extra plant matter can be piled beside the composters if you want to remove it from your plot already. 

All plots should be left in tidy, weed-free condition by the end of the growing season.  Crushed autumn leaves will make a great addition to our soil so if you're raking leaves at home, please bring them to the garden rather than sending them to the city compost!
 

Harvest Party coming up!

On Saturday, October 22 at 4:00pm, join us for a Harvest Party.  This will be a great chance for current and new members to socialize and to give feedback and suggestions for next season!

We'll meet at the garden (and in the church hall), and music and games will be followed by a potluck dinner!  If you'd like to contribute to the party planning or entertainment, please contact Cheryl.
 
Just a reminder, if you wish to keep your garden plot for next year, you must register and pay for the plot BEFORE OR AT the Harvest Party!
