Goings on in the garden the week of 5-19-13

Time to Sow!
Well folks it is officially time to get everything in the ground.  We will be working hard to get our beds filled this coming week.   We have added Tuesday from 5-7 to our regular hours.  This just give us more time together!  So hopefully we will see you all sometime in the coming week.  Tuesday 5-7, Thursday 5-7 or Saturday 9-1

A Big Thank You!

A big thank you to everyone who came out and helped this past weekend with the Garden sale.  We raised a bunch of money, we raised a bunch of awareness to our little patch dirt. we had some fun, we got some work done and then we ate, drank were merry!  This sounds like a perfectly spent Saturday to me!  So once more, thank you for everyone who made this past week a great success!

Here are a couple photos of the day.

Thursday Potluck

So it is official, we are having a potluck in the garden every Thursday, weather permitting, for the foreseeable future.

Everyone is welcome and invite anyone you want.  We will be meeting in the garden from 7-?.  So bring a dish to share and your favorite beverage.  As always, please bring your own reusable plates, cups, and utensils.
Our last potluck

The Water Is Coming!

The water is coming the water is coming!  We will be getting our share of irrigation water shortly.  For those of you who don't know, we have 1/20 of a share of irrigation water from the Pleasant Valley Ditch Company.  This is english means that every 6 days we get 2-2.5 hours of water coming through our ditch on the west side of the garden.  This is enough water for the beds, trees and to fill up our water storage.  Then 3 days later we empty the water storage to water the beds, then 3 days later we get water through the ditch, then 3 days later we empty the water storage to water the beds.  I think you get the point now.

Since this cycle is every 6 days, this means that we do not have a regular irrigation day.  It is moving every week.  So please see the irrigation schedule in our weekly email or check out the calendar on this blog,

This is really the lifeblood of our garden.  Without this we would not be able to have this garden.  In order to effectively irrigate the garden we need some help, so please try to come by during these days to help out.

Sorry for the tardiness of the email.  I try to get these out on Tuesday so you can plan your week.  I'll get back to that next week.
