Goings on in the garden the week of 4/28/13

Old Man Winter Keeps Coming!

So we are under yet another winter storm warning with forecast up to a foot of snow.  The moisture is more than welcome but this puts a damper on our garden plans.  Because of the snow forecast we are canceling Thursday hours.  It just wouldn't be pleasant with all the mud.  So we will meet again on Saturday from 10-2 so we can get the heat of the day.

The bees are coming!

Chuck is picking up a package of bees on Saturday to place in our hive.  Come on by between 12 and 1 and see Lahoma and Chuck introduce the bees to their new home.  Lahoma is our resident bee expert.  she was a professional bee keeper and is full of knowledge.  Come on out and learn more about the great pollinator!

Here is a video of Lahoma releasing bees in her hive last year.

Home Grown Foods

This Saturday Home Grown Food is holding their annual Starter Barter from 11-2 at Avos.  This is a great event and is a good fundraiser for the garden.

We are going to be a bit shorthanded with some folks out of town and with Chuck going to pick up bees.  Is there anyone out there that would like to sell some of our starts at this event?  We really could use the help!  If interested, please contact Lorraine at Lorraine@MulberryCommunityGardens.org

Garden Sale

On Saturday May 18th we are having our Garden Sale from 8-1.  Think yard sale in the garden plus plant starts.  If you have anything you want to donate to the yard sale portion of this sale, please drop these items by anytime before then.

We will need plenty of help with this event, if available please come on by to assist with what has come to be one of our most important fundraisers of the year.

Then at 5:00 we are having our spring get together!  This is a pot luck dinner so please bring a dish to share and as always please bring your own plates, cups, eating utensils and your favorite beverage.  Rumor has it there will be a bluegrass band playing and a special spring time Heinze home brew.  This should be an incredible event and lots of fun.
