Garden Times The Week of 4/7/13

Springtime in Colorado!

Got to love this time of year.  70 yesterday and snow on the ground today.  But don't fret warmer weather is right around the corner and the garden will be in full swing.  We will be in the garden Saturday from 9-1 doing "garden stuff"  Come on out and enjoy getting your hands dirty.

I know that warmer weather is coming because my sure fire spring alarm went off.  This means the garlic is coming up.  Below is a picture, may not be the best to illustrate this but trust me there is garlic coming up in that bed!

Hoop house is done!

We got the hoop house done on Saturday, just in time to add some of our plants to the nice warm air inside.

Board Meeting on Wednesday

For anyone and everyone who is interested, the garden board meeting is this Wednesday at 7:00 at the home of board member Julie Dunn.  Julie lives at 1707 Homer in Ft Collins.  This is an open meeting to anyone who would like to attend.  This is where decisions about the gardens future are made, all are encouraged to come and be a part of your garden's future.

Directions to Julie's:  East of Shields on Mulberry there is a stop light at the entrance of City Park at the lake.  If you go just to the west of this light Cook Drive comes off of Mulberry to the South.  Go to the end of Cook and Julies Driveway is right in front of you.  Park there on the street and walk up to the house.  The house is not visible from the street.  Here is a map to help you out http://goo.gl/maps/RrBfY

Garden Sale

Again, remember that we are having a Garden Sale on May 18th starting at 8.  We will be having a plant sale as well as garden sale (think yard sale).  If you have anything to donate to the sale, please drop these items off at the garden.  All proceeds from the sale will help in future projects in the garden.

After the sale we are having the spring member kickoff party.  This will be a pot luck starting at 5 and going to whenever.  So save the date these parties are always a lot of fun!

CSUnity Day

Also save the date for Saturday April 20th.  We will be hosting a CSUinty project at the garden.  We are expecting about 10 students to come help out in the garden that day from 10-2.  Please make plans to be there that day.  We really need to have some ambassadors of the garden there that day.

Fun Video of the day

This newsletter was a little longer than I expected it to be so instead of a quote I found a video that will hopefully lighten your day.  Hopefully one day soon this little lady will be saying this in our garden!
