TSBVI Service Hour Tasks Needing To Be Performed
The recent rain has created an increased need that certain service hour tasks be performed. TSBVI hour tasks particularly needed are:
- Weeding granite pathways in TSBVI garden and raised beds west of parking lot
- Mowing and edging fence line along Sunshine Drive and 49th Street - both inside and outside of fence
Gardeners having some free time this weekend and still needing to complete their TSBVI service hour for the fall season are encouraged to perform these tasks.
Volunteer Needed
This week's job is vital to all who use the trailer. Be the one who monitors and then goes to buy toilet paper, paper towels, plastic bags, dish soap and hand soap. You will turn in your receipts and be repaid.
Please contact Janet Adams at jartdaht@gmail.com if you are interested. I will show you what to do and how to do it.
Weed Your Garden
The garden has received lots of rain this month. After a soaking rain it is so much easier to remove Bermuda grass and other weeds. Now is the time to weed your garden!
All Gardeners Meeting 9/17 - Mark your calendar!
The next All Gardener Meeting will be Saturday, September 17, 10:00 am. Agenda will include site rule changes relating to plot compliance and the fall plant sale. Background on the site rule changes will be provided to members before the meeting, and the full agenda will be posted when finalized. Coffee, juice, and pastries will be provided.
The All Gardener meetings are a good time to meet and visit with your fellow gardeners, in addition to being more involved in the management of the garden. So mark your calendar to join your fellow gardeners on 9/17. If you have any topics you would like to see membership discuss, please contact Jeff Monks at garden@jeffmonks.com.
Fall Plant Sale Update
We have about 1,600 sprouts from our seed planting activity last week and more are coming up every day! We will have our first round of transplanting on Sunday at 11 AM. Please meet at the TSBVI greenhouse. Thanks to everyone who helped with the planting.
To see a list of all the interesting plants we will be selling go - here. Don't forget to tell all your gardening friends.
