Mason Bees Update
The
Mason
Bees
are happy at SCG. It looks like almost half the holes are
already full. Our Mason Bee house was built and installed
by Julie Morales as part of her Girl Scout Project.
Note the little bee with her butt sticking out as she builds her nest. Picture is also on the SCG web site picture page.

Reminder - Wood Chips and Leaves Satellite Station
Gardeners on Sunshine's north end are reminded of the wood chips and leaves satellite station located in the first "drive-in" area west of the parking lot. As plots are cleared of spring crops, covering the plot with leaves is a good way to protect the soil and suppress weeds until plant fall crops. The satellite station has been set up on a trial basis to make Sunshine's supply of wood chips and leaves more convenient for gardeners on Sunshine's north end.
