I will be up at the garden on Friday Sept. 16th from 10 to noon. Pulling out some old tomatoe plants, weeding and planting a little fall crop. Come join me if you can.

the food pantry director always seemed thrilled, no matter what I bring her!

I'm still happy to take produce from MPUUC to the Milpitas Food Pantry as needed.  I probably won't be there this Sunday, but anticipate being there throughout Sept.

For the last few weeks we had a volunteer signed up once a week for harvest duty. The help came mainly from members of the Mission Peak Unitarian Universalist Congregation (MPUUC). This Sunday Valerie Steward will be the lucky person, thanks Valerie!

I am looking for more people to help out with this duty. The harvest will go to personal use and to the Tri City Food Bank or the Milpitasl Food Pantry, whichever one is closer to you. The month of September is wide open, this can be done any day of the week, just let me know so I can plan ahead.

I will be at the garden Friday morning Aug.19th around 9 am to clean up the winter squash and do some weeding, join me if you can.

Thanks again Steve for watering and letting us know that the irrigation system needed some tending. My wonderful husband already fixed it!

Susanne and I are back from vacation and stopped by the garden. I changed the battery and automatic  watering is going again (thanks Steve for the alert) . We did harvest some 25 pounds of zucchini and giving it away on our front-yard vegi stand. Thanks everyone for helping out to keep the garden in shape. There are tomatoes to harvest, squash, basil and more zucchinis. Feel free to drop by and pick some.

I went by the garden today after work and it looks like the timer is dead due to needing a new 9v battery. If Anybody can go by there for a min and replace the battery that would be great since I did not have one on me at the time. Also there are alot of tomatoes that are ripe and some are falling on the ground and there also squash that need to be harvested because some of them are getting way too big. I did hand water the garden while I was there because it looked a little dry.

Sunday is a good day.  I will try to make it.  Looking forward to meeting you.  Washington Garden, right?

Michael and I were both there but running a late since we needed to pick up some transplants from the Leaf nursery first. The squirrels had eaten a lot of our plants again, we have an ongoing battle with them. Sorry to have missed you.

We are out of town next weekend.
