potluck + mandatory work sessions

we WILL have our potluck this week. The weather is predicted to be absolutely lovely for just such an occasion, particularly for an evening so close to the average first frost date! Now that's an indian summer for ya! We will gather for the potluck on Thurs. (10/14) at 6:30pm after our 5:30pm work session. please bring a dish to share and bring your friends and neighbors who would like to learn more about GJ's first community garden! 
 
we will plan on a solid work session for each of the remaining thursdays of october. Please plan on being at at least 1 out of the 3 sessions: Oct. 14, 21, 28. We have quite a bit of work to do to prepare to put the garden to sleep at the end of the season. In the meantime ------ the garden is nearly overwhelmingly abundant! Now is the time that we should be in there enjoying all of our work from this season that has flown past us. 
  
This week we should be able to plant garlic seed which is being donated by Cameron Place. We have prepared the row where the garlic will be planted by tearing out the beans and amending the soil with the luscious composted soil that we uncovered at the bottom of our compost bin --- with the encouragement of "the compost lady", Pat. 

If we haven't seen much of you at the garden lately ---- don't hesitate to come back out and reacquaint yourself w/ the veggies and your fellow gardeners. 
  
See you on Thursday!
