Mulberry Community Gardens - Garden times week of 3/30/13

April Showers!

The old saying goes April showers brings May spinach!  These showers yesterday kept us out of the garden, but Thursday and Saturday look like beautiful garden days!  We will be in the garden on Thursday from 5-7 (see below for more info on this) and Saturday from 9-1.  We have a bunch of planting, prepping and other things to get done for the coming season.  Please come on out, we miss your smiling faces!

Thursday Potluck

Reanna is coordinating a Thursday evening potluck at the garden.  We haven't decided if this is going to be weekly or biweekly, but we do know that we are starting this week after member hours on Thursday.  It is forecast to be a beautiful day.  Please bring something to share and your beverage of choice.  As always please bring your own reusable plates, cups and silverware.

We will be meeting for volunteer hours from 5-7 and the potluck will start immediately after.  We do have access to refrigerators and ovens if you need to keep something warm or cold.

Hoop House Completion

We are a few steps of having the hoop house 100% complete.  Just in time for the starts to make their way to the garden.  I (Chuck) plan on completing these steps on Thursday from 5-7.  Please join me in getting this vital project completed.



Below is a picture from last week when we got the cover on!

CSUnity Event

We have been asked by CSU to hold a CSUnity event in the garden and we have gladly accepted.  On Saturday April 20th from 10-2 we will host some CSU students doing a community service project.  We ask that if you are available to please plan on coming to this event.  We can always use ambassadors to spread the word on our garden.

We have several projects planned and it depends on how many folks show up to help.  We really can use your help this day to get the garden ready for the upcoming growing season.

Blog Plug

If you haven't seen it please check out our new blog, www.MulberryCG.blogspot.com.  This is quickly becoming a major resource for information on the garden.  We especially like the calendar tab.  There you can see everything that is going on in the garden.

If you would like to help contribute to the blog (recipes, garden ideas, your thoughts, photos, whatever you can think of) please contact Chuck@MulberryCommunityGardens.org for information.

Don't be intimidated, if you think you don't have to skills I will teach you.  It is very easy and can even be done from a smart phone!
