Pollinator Garden

Weather should be fantastic. This will be a pivotal week for the garden as we head into summer. 

• Pull weeds and cut back the Vetch ( a great green compost)
• Install the new watering system.  Most of the bits are purchased. 
• Plant Lavender borders. I have several flats of lavender sprouted in 4" pots that will make a fantastic border later this year.
• Plant any other plants that are brought to the garden.

The rain is finally here, and time to make changes in the garden. We have had 5 yards of lightweight soil mix delivered, and need to spread it on the open beds, and lightly turn it in.  Bring: (if you can): Wheelbarrow, spading fork, garden rake, seeds you want to sow (wildflowers, natives, etc.), plants that are ready for planting, your positive attitude.

Our next work day in the garden will be December 21, the Solstice.  Bring any plants that we can put in the ground, or any seeds you would like to sew.   All donations to the garden are welcomed.  We will also enjoy some cider and snacks and toast to the shortest day of the year.  It will be a light labor workday, and mostly enjoying the time outdoors, the change in the season, and each other’s company.  Heavy rain cancels. 

Join us for some light gardening labor, enjoying the time outdoors and each other’s company. Heavy rain cancels.

Phil says: Weed wack, pull weeds, water, chit-chat, plant some new ones, pull some old ones. Now is the key time to set the tone for the garden for the year.  No new weeds will sprout up and new plants will have a good chance to mature. Bring any new plants you want to contribute. Bring your gloves, and your favorite implements of destruction.  I'll try to predict your needs and bring a truck load of tools.
