Weed-a-thon tonight! :)

Don't forget our gardening session tonight from 5-7! We'll be doing similar things to last week, but first and foremost if everyone would pull weeds for a full hour that'd be great, especially in the back herb beds and front perennial area near the street. To do: weeding, suckering tomatoes, replant carrot bed w chard, make sure all drip tape is facing holes-up. See you soon!

Irrigation system

A note to all gardeners, we have set the irrigation system on a timer with the right pressure so please do not change/turn-on/off/adjust any of the system. If you think there is a problem send an email to gjmainstreetcommunitygarden@gmail.com ad someone will take a look at it! Thanks!

Work session tonight: tis the weeding season

Happy Tuesday! Today we'll be pulling weeds (need to get a handle on them now!), suckering tomatoes, staking tomatoes, replanting seeds that didn't germinate, clipping flowering basil, and harvesting some greens. 

This is a goat head plant, they've all GOT to go!! Use a spade to help get out the roots and put them in the trash!

Weeds are taking over... But since they are still small they are easy to pull out 😄

This is a tomato sucker, a leaf or stem that is growing between the main stem and a main branch. These we pinch out and remove, as shown below! 

Saturday Work Sessions!!

Beginning this Saturday, June 8, we will be holding Saturday morning work sessions at 9AM!

We know you can't all make it out on Tuesday evenings so we are designating Saturday mornings as a second option for a group work session. Saturday mornings will be less "structured" than Tuesday's sessions, but we will update this blog weekly (as well as our Facebook page) about what needs to be done at the garden.

This week:

mostly WEEDING!!

In the rows, between the rows, and even around the garden and in the driveway. At this point, I think all of the rows are planted. Watch for tiny greens, carrots, basil, beets, etc. just coming up.

If someone wants to take on the front section (the area between the road and the sidewalk) there are a lot of weeds in there as well.
