ok, we got rained out twice. I will not give up. Garden meeting and work party will be Febr. 26, 1-3pm. If it rains or the soil is too wet due to rain in the morning we will hold a brief garden meeting at my house, 67 Blaisdell Way, Fremont 94536 (510-797-1958 or 51- 415 7360) at 1 pm. This should not last more than 1 hour.

Hoping for some clear skies though ...........

since we got rained out on Janjuary 25th I am rescheduling our work party for Saturday Febr. 19th, 2-4pm.

Please join us if you can so we can discuss our plans for this season, do some weeding and garden area clean up. We also need to prune the pear and apple tree so if you have clippers, please bring them.

This event is weather permitting of course, cancel if rain.

Please join us for some winter weeding and general garden maintenance on Sunday January 30th, 11:15 to 12:15.

Bring gloves and kneepads if needed and your favorite garden tool.

Lets discuss our vision for the coming season while we are at it.

Hi all,
Unfortunately I have to work at the hospital this weekend and need to change the date for our workparty to Sunday Nov 14th, 11:15 to 12:15 pm. Please bring gloves, a shovel or hoe and knee pad if needed.
Any transplants of kale, cauliflower, cabbage etc . are appreciated, we still have some space in the keyhole bed.

as of today here are the chores left to do:

* pull out dying tomato plants, cut in smaller pieces and place in compost bins

* turn the compost bins and water them

* clean up the keyhole bed, hoe the soil together towards the center of the bed. It can be replanted with your favorite winter vegetables: kale, cabbage, swiss chard, cauliflower etc.

all planted beds are labeled, the potatoes are already coming through again, the new crop looks good so far (:
Enjoy your visit

we now have broccoli, onions, peas, potatoes, some leek and a few celery in the ground for our winter crop. Of course there could always be more planted like swiss chard, kale, cabbage, garlic, cauliflower, etc. If you feel inclinded please go ahead and plant whatever you like, the keyhole bed in the center is empty now.
If you come to the garden and would like to work but are unclear what to do, here is an updated chores list:

* pull out dying tomatoe plants, cut in smaller pieces and put in black compost bins

* turn the compost and water it

* keep peremiter of the garden weed free (weeds should not go in our black compost bins but rather in the green bin next to the church office)

* keep the paths free of growth

* prune dead branches of pear tree (do not throw in compost, make a pile next to the tree

* weed the strawberries

our next work party is Sunday Nov 7th at 11:15 am
