Saturday Weeding Party & Door Prizes

Hey Everyone,
 Don't forget that we are having the Saturday version of the Weeding Party/Workday from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm Saturday the 26th.

   The main tasks for the Saturday Weeding Party:
  •  weeding the two big main paths
  •  weeding where the Sunflower/Good Predator Borders are going to go in
  •  finish pruning/cutting back the pollinator beds
Be sure and bring your favorite weeding tools and possibly something to kneel or sit on, as the ground is going to be soggy after the rains on Friday. Rain makes it easier to weed but unfortunately much wetter and messier.

I've also been informed that there will be DOOR PRIZES for Saturday as well!

     See you there if you can make it.

              Vicki



Thursday's Weeding Party Accomplishments

Thank you to everyone who came out and worked -we had a great turn out and a lot of fun.

For January you couldn't have asked for better weather. Thank goodness it was sunny because it was very chilly at 10:00 am! Even though we worked hard for two hours there is still lots left to do at the Saturday Weeding Party.

A special Thank You to Dalita for bringing the delicious Bits-o-Brinkle Cookies for us to enjoy which were made with pecans collected at the garden.

These pictures don't show all the action because 2/3rds of the pollinator beds got pruned AND there were 7 more people weeding!
 
 

Door Lock has been Moved!

The lock on the shed door has now been moved.  Be careful when you use it so you don't pinch a finger. There is a piece of nylon cord hanging from the lock - use it to open and close the bar and you won't shed any tears.

Victor Williams moved it down so
all us vertically challenged people can reach it.
