Goings on in the garden the week of 4/21/13

Winter keeps coming
So we are getting plenty of moisture!  This snow is a good type of moisture as well.  The slow thaw allows the moisture to go deep into the soil.  This should be good for the greens we have planted already!

We will be in the garden on Thursday (5-7) and Saturday (9-1) this week.  This will be a good time to get the broccoli and cabbages in the ground.  Fingers crossed we don't get any more snow, but rain is always welcome!

We will also be doing some other projects as well so come on out and enjoy the beautiful weather that is forecast!

Anyone for a Potluck?

Since is suppose to be in the 60's on Thursday, we are having a potluck after garden hours on Thursday (7-?). Hopefully this will become a more regular event as the weather gets better.

Please bring a dish to share and you beverage of choice.  As always, please bring your own reusable plates, cups and utensils.

CSUnity event

Thanks to everyone who participated in the CSUnity event this past Saturday.  This was a huge success.  With the help of some CSU students we got the lion's share of the raised beds completed, tomatoes transplanted, compost turned and chicken wire around the goat pen so Don doesn't get his horns stuck anymore.  Then we finished with a cookout for lunch!  Again, thanks to all the members and the students in making this a very productive day!

Blog

Have you seen our blog?  If you haven't check it out at www.MulberryCG.blogspot.com  A lot of the members have commented that the calendar is very useful.

Do you want to contribute to this resource?  It's very easy to do.  If you still don't believe me, I (Chuck) will be holding a how-to Saturday after garden hours.  If you are interested be at the garden around 1 and I will show you how to blog.

We are interested in anyone wanting to share anything with the group, recipes, garden tips and ideas, poetry, stories, whatever.

Instead of a quote I have a video this week entitled "I'm Farming and I Grow it" a parody on "I'm Sexy and I Know It"
