Grape Harvest - Sept 10 - 7pm

The grapes in the Community Garden will be harvested and distributed to Garden Members tomorrow night, Tuesday, Sept 10 at 7pm.

Plum Harvest - Sept 2 at 7pm

8/31/2019

 
We will be harvesting and distributing the plums in the Community Garden Orchard (and maybe a few pears..) to garden members Monday evening, September 2, at 7pm. These are small plums that resemble an Italian Prune Plum.

Apple Distribution - Aug 30 - 7pm

8/28/2019

 
Some of the apples in the orchard will be picked and distributed to garden members this Friday, August 30 at 7pm at the community garden.  These apples may be a little green still, but we know some people like them that way.  The wasps have started to gnaw on them so thought it would be best to begin the harvest before it’s too late.

Black Current Reminder

7/20/2019

 
There are still some black currants left to be picked in the common area next to the gate.  Pretty dang good for jam, muffins, scones.... don't let them go to waste.

Dog Signs Vandalized

7/8/2019

 
Results from the Dogs in Garden survey overwhelmingly decided to prohibit dogs from entering the fenced area of the garden. Temporary signs were posted at the gates letting people know of this decision.  Someone decided to vandalize the signs by tearing them off. This is vandalism of garden property and will not be tolerated.  The paper signs have been replaced and a volunteer has come forward to paint permanent wooden signs. These signs will fit better with the organic look of the garden.

Raspberries

7/7/2019

 
The common plot at the east end of the garden is where our raspberries grow.  These raspberries are of the ever-bearing variety.  As there is no specific time to harvest these raspberries, garden members are welcome to nibble on them from time to time during the growing season.  Please make sure you leave enough for other gardeners to enjoy.
