VG status Monday June 3, 2013 next work date Thursday 7am

Dave Fitzgerald and others finished the garlic harvest Monday. He will be issuing a report soon.

Whit and Jan Whitacre have been moving the soil pile into the raised wooden beds. I don't have a list of who all worked Monday but last week was Val and the Whitacres and me.

Last Thursday I took the onyuns drying in my garage from the previous week (37 lbs) to the Food Pantry. This week a charity group from Fayette County picked 117 lbs of beautiful white and red Texas candy onyuns for a distribution in the Yager community. Pam Demato, a former VG volunteer, works with that group. She was responsible for our primary funding for several years.

Harvest report:

      04/11/2013  41 lbs

      05/30/2013  37 lbs

      06/03/2013 117 lbs

Next work date is 7am Thursday morning.

We need to: 

 

1. Water the 30 pole bean containers next to the trellises on even days of the month.

2. Plant purplehull peas in all open areas.

3. Weed with a hoe around the corn in plot 1.

4. Remove the weeds from around and under 14 tomato cages.

5. Edge around the zinnia bed on Peterson Lake Rd with a sharp hoe and weed it. I did the Verlington bed this morning and fertilized it.

6. Everyone including your friends neighbors: we need about 40 bags of grass clippings to spread in all middles.

7.  Mow and trim. I edged with Roundup this morning.

8.  Maybe dig the taters.

 

BIG THANKS!
