Our gardeners have spring fever!

Potato condo construction in the snow--now that's dedication!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Late April....
The greenhouse I purchased from The Garden Retreat by Chinook Centre. The have a wonderful selection of small cold frames and greenhouses. It is not heated but I used a 100 w light bulb for those really cold nights. Threw a blanket over top a couple of nights too. Just in case.  It will come in handy when I harden off the 36 tomato plants I started. I went a little crazy after that tomato seminar. 😊

 

Baby pea shoots for salads and sandwiches and 5 different kinds of lettuce.

May 2 and our gardeners are visiting, eager to get going!

 

RESCHEDULED COMPOST PICKUP--Thank you for your offer...and STAY TUNED for new date

THANK YOU

FOR SIGNING UP TO Help on APRIL 20TH.

We need to reschedule

as the compost pile donated is frozen.

As much as we love to get our hands in the soil, this will have to wait

for mother nature. We will keep you posted with a new date!

"Shed"-ding the past...what happened in the garden today

We will be celebrating the generosity and kindness of some fantastic community minded people and groups.

Thank you to Devin Elkin, in particular,

for coordinating the partners...

Check out these eager gardeners...they are installing the "patio"...

Community shout out--plot number help

A Community Shout Out

YOUR TALENTS ARE NEEDED

How?

Mid-Sun Community Garden plots need renumbering. 

We can’t find our plots!

              Needs:

·        Letters A through to O

·        Numbers 1 through to 47

·        Small

·        Clear to read

·        Will be attached to the side of the plots

·        Durable to withstand elements

Maybe you have some unused pieces of wood

stored that’s itching for a project? 

A time frame of completion by May 25^th when we

have our first Work Bee and Telus Day of Caring

to help us install all of those new letters and numbers

you so graciously made!
