Please join us for our spring garden work party Sunday March 10 at 11 am. Much weeding needs to be done, our paths will get a fresh layer of wood chips and our beds deserve some tilling.
We will also seed our vegetables for this summer season. I will take them home to raise and bring back as transplants later in the season.
Bring gloves.
We will have sandwiches ready for the Garden helpers.

Allyson,

so far everything we put out on the table was taken, no leftovers. I expect this to change when tomatoes are ready. I will let you know when the time comes and will appreciate your help.

I think there are 2 factors: for one we planted a greater variety that ripens at different times, so no more 50 lbs of beans being ready at the same time. Also members of MPUUC now know that we have good stuff coming out of the garden and are taking it as it gets ripe. Either way is just fine.

what is happening with the left overs from the garden share table on Sundays?  I haven't been at services much so far since May, but plan to attend regularly for most of the summer now, so I could bring stuff to the food pantry in Milpitas if you want.

the summer garden is all planted, thanks to all of you who helped to make this happen. We have a lot of flowers in the front of the garden that all reseeded themselves and currently look very inviting.

For the next few weeks there is only basic garden maintenace to do, some weeding, making sure the perimeter of the garden stays clear, watering the donated planted pots etc. We could use some more chips for the paths to be brought up from the pile below the garden. I had a long talk with the ground squirrels and they are trying to share more fairly this year ( though they could not entirely promise me that), lets hope for the best.

If you want to help out in the garden you will ususally find people there on Sundays arouund 11:15 am. I am often up there during the week for an hour or so. Let me know if you have an interest to see/ join the garden,  I will make arrangements to meet you there. Otherwise feel free to drop by any time.
