Growings on in the garden this week!

The water is rising!

Hello all!  Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable 4th.  Just some random news from the garden.  Veggies are starting to be harvested.  Right now we have cauliflower, basil, and squashes that are ready.  Some come on out and enjoy the fruits of our labor.

We have a new irrigation pump!  And does it work!  This pump moves a bunch more water than the old one, which means that we are using our water more efficiently.  You can come out Friday evening from 5:15-7:45 and see for yourself.  I must say it is pretty impressive!

Mentioning Friday, we have irrigation water coming from 5:15-7:45.  Because of this, we have canceled our normal hours today as well as the pot luck.  We have moved the hours to coincide with the irrigation.  So recap, No hours today (Thursday) but irrigation, volunteer hours and pot luck on Friday from 5:15-7:45 with the pot luck starting about 7.

We have a long list of things we need to get done.  So please drop by if you can.  Remember, many hands make for light work..  Here is the list if interested. http://goo.gl/fh8hT

A big thank you!

A big thank you goes out to Lauren and all the other employees of the New Belgium Tasting Room.  They have so generously donated their tips to Mulberry Community Gardens to help with improvements for the animals. The main project this money will be used for is to build a shelter for the goats.  There are plans to make the building of the shelter an event with Billy Goat Moving.  Please stay tuned for more information on this.



Next time you see Lauren (on left), please thank her for sponsoring our garden.

Party!

You are all invited!  As many of you know Candace and Chuck are moving to Louisiana at the end of the month.  Come send them off in style.   Saturday July 20th at 5-? in the garden.  No need to bring anything, except maybe your beverage of choice.  We will have food and some beverages.

(Chuck here, I will miss you all and would love to see you all one more time before we move.)

Garden times for the week of 7/1/13

Enjoying the Holiday

Thanks to some rain and some cooler temperatures the garden is going off like a bottle rocket!  It is amazing how much the plants grow in a week!  So come on out and be blown away by the progress of the garden.  We will be there this evening from 5-7 and Saturday from 5:15-7:45.  (This is a change but Saturday is irrigation day this week, back to our regular schedule next week)

No Pot Luck this week

The past couple of weeks have been a whole lot of fun with a bunch of friends sharing in the pot luck.  Since this Thursday in the 4th, we have decided to cancel this week's potluck.  See you all next week!

We need some help caring for animals

Lorraine, who normally cares for the animals, will be taking a much deserved vacation to see her daughter in California from July 11-17th.  During this time, we will need some help in caring for the chickens and goats.  This does not require much but feed and water both.  Takes about 15 minutes both morning and evening.  If interested, please get in contact with Lorraine, Becca or Chuck to show you want is needed to care for the animals.  Ideally we would like 2 volunteers each in the morning and evening.

Here is a signup sheet http://goo.gl/mpP2J Just enter your name in the time slot and exit the tab it comes up in.  Your information will be saved automatically.

THANKS in advance for your help!
