Do NOT touch the water system!

Attention!!! As we've said before PLEASE DO NOT ADJUST ANY PART OF THE WATER SYSTEM! (Unless you are Trish!) Someone turned it on this weekend and created some leaks as the pressure is too high. This takes volunteer time and money to fix. No matter how much you want to touch the system, DO NOT! Thank you!

First August Garden Session

We are on tonight for garden session! Bring your weeding fingers (and toes if you are that dexterous!), we've tons of weeds to address! After a solid hour of weeding (and thinning carrots & baby chard as needed) we'll move onto harvesting all of the ripe: beans, tomatoes, TOMATILLOS, squash, cucumbers, eggplant, and peppers. We'll need to go through the tomato vines to find them all. Then harvest your own greens: kale, chard, arugula, herbs, radishes, beets. Finally- at 7 we'll wrap it up so we can enjoy a fun potluck social! See you all for a fun evening!
