Need planters for tomatoes

Margaret would like to move some tomato plants into planters. Does anyone have extra patio planters? If so, could you leave them by/in the shed? Thanks!

Saturday evening soil shifting = fun!

Margaret and I will be at the garden on Saturday the 19th at 7:00pm to move soil and mulch. Bring a shovel and join us! (Because c'mon, what else could you possibly want to do on a Saturday night, right?)

The Brock Street flower beds are ready

Happy planting, Nikki and Yael! Let me know when to haul the mulch over.

Transformer station flower beds - update

Four of us (Mike, Joey, Darren and Mary) got together yesterday evening to transport limestone from Mike's secret spot to the front of the transformer station. The new flower beds there are starting to look good! We still need to level-out the soil and spread some mulch, which we can hopefully get done over the coming days. As for the path, can I suggest perhaps a few low hedges (spirea?) to be planted along its edges, perhaps with mulch forming the path itself? I don't think we would need to do the entire length of the path leading to the street, maybe just a 3rd of the way down to give it a suitable 'look'?

Dirtpile workbee update

Thanks go out to Jane, Jane C and Margaret for joining me in the garden this evening to shift the soil in front of the transformer station. We filled the new flower bed areas with soil, but we will wait for the limestone borders before smoothing it out. Although we moved some of the remaining soil to the big pile next to the shed, we decided to leave some by Brock Street just in case more is needed there. Hope to see you all on July 10th for the next work bee.

ps: where are the other men???
