Three new bed frames were built on Sunday April 19th. I'm in the process of contacting new members on our waiting list. Everyone: feel free to use the wheelbarrow to help me fill these new beds with soil from our piles in the back of the lot! Joey

Photos for blog
Hello! It's Tracey (I was a gardener last year and am moving to Toronto this summer.) I just noticed that the photo stream for the blog is from my flickr site. If anyone has photos they want me to add, let me know. (And if you switch it to someone else's photo stream who is a current gardener, of course that's fine with me too.)
Best of luck in the garden this year!

Renewing your plot for 2009
Hello gardeners,
Just a friendly reminder that we are finalizing our list of gardeners for the 2009 season. If you haven't done so already, please drop us a line at sunnysidegarden@riseup.net to let us know if you will be returning or not. We have a waiting list of new members, and we would like to inform them before seed-ordering time (Jan/Feb).
Thanks,
Joey

Fun with compost!
Hi gang,
One item that I forgot to mention at the meeting today was that the composters are in need of attention. Specifically, I think that it is time to rotate the bins to make room for the influx of old plants. So, I need 2 volunteers to join me this Tuesday, September 30th at 6:30 pm at the garden, for an enjoyable evening of mucking about in the composters (joy!). Please RSVP and bring your shovel!
Thanks,
Joey

Limestone convoy, Thursday the 28th at 7pm
Hi gang,
With September approaching, I know that a lot of us are soon going to be very busy. This is why I would like to organize one last work party. We have a huge pile of coarse wood chips to use, and I'd like to create a couple of paths with it: one leading to the hose, the other leading to the front door of the transformer station on Brock Street. The paths will survive much better if we place rock borders along them, so...
I'm looking for volunteers to make another limestone run across the causeway. Again, for those of you who didn't join us last time, you'll get to visit the secret spot where free limestone abounds! Bring your vehicle, and be sure to line your trunk with cardboard or an old blanket to prevent scratches. I'm hoping to get this done this coming Thursday, the 28th of August, with the convoy departing the garden at 7:00pm sharp. We'll fill the pathways with the chips once the rock borders are in. We had a very productive outing last time when we did the Brock Street rock borders, so... come one, come all! (Remember, you'll get to learn about the secret spot!)
Please let me know if you can make it!

Some photos...
This week I harvested our first melons of the season!
Everything is so lush right now. I couldn't resist a few more pictures of everyone's plots. Basil:
Little squash:
Tomatoes almost ready!
A perfect eggplant:
And so many beautiful flowers, I'll save them for another post. Some happy wasps:
