This week at MSCG + The Renegade Lunch Lady May 18th!

TODAY'S WORK SESSION (OPTIONAL): 
We are workin' today from 5-7pm. It is very important for us to get the extra compost spread along the east side of the garden where we will be planting corn seed this Saturday. We also have a bit more weeding to do. A small number of hardy folk pretty much did away with most of the alfalfa and cheet grass last week. We have more cheet grass to eliminate from the decorative planting/xeriscaped easement today and we need to fine tune the weed free aspect of our beds to ready them for Saturday's big planting session.
 
MANDATORY WORK SESSION: 
This Saturday, May 7th from 10am - Noon (or until we get it all done!) is our PLANTING DAY! Please plan on being there. If you cannot be there, please email us to let us know and we will get back to you with ways in which you can make up the time for this mandatory all-hands-on-deck work session. 
  
MSCG PHOTO DIRECTORY: 
Please advise if you do not wish for your name, email, phone #, address, etc. to be shared with the other garden members. We have received a handful of photos from members so far and we are still looking for more members' photos to add to our photo directory. Please email them to us when you have a chance. We would like to pull it together by the beginning of June and will email it out then.

WORK ASSIGNMENTS: 
We are planning on issuing work assignments to everyone for the entire season. This will allow for folks to be able to take responsibility for a part of the garden in which they have shown interest. If you have not specified your area of interest, you will be assigned a row for which you (and another member or 2) will be responsible for keeping tidy and weed free! This will also lend itself well to members being able to work in the garden (not just harvesting, but a way to get their work time in) on their own time and not only at the community work sessions. We will be happy to orient you to how it's done if you need guidance. We do hope that we will continue to have big numbers at our Tuesday community work sessions thus keeping the community aspect front and center in our community garden!
