Update

F & F Volunteers,
We thank the Stobs for tending the garden this past week and next week the Strengs have signed up to do the watering and weeding.

The garden continues to well, for the most part.  Several of the collards have been feasted on by some caterpillars, so I sprayed them today with a spray Barb and I purchased from English Gardens. This will need to be done every Saturday (the spray is in the chest).  Speaking of Saturday, if you are scheduled to water for the week, it is important to water on Saturday, because the next watering day isn't 'til Monday, unless we get a good rain on Saturday.

Barb and I replaced 4 collards and 4 tomato plants that weren't looking too well.  This very hot and then cool weather has been hard on the plants.

The beans are looking great.  They had grown to reach the protective netting, so I removed it today.  The peas are climbing their support and the carrots are coming up.  The carrots will need to be thinned out every 3 inches in the coming weeks, so if you are tending the garden, be sure to do this as you weed.

Tomorrow, when you attend church, you will see the beautiful sign hanging on the garden fence.  Michael Woodyard hung it this morning and it looks great! And yes...it is hanging level.
On a final note, I do have a latch and hinge that need to be put on the gate.  If you are willing and able to attach these to the gate, please get in touch with me.  We will make arrangements to get these to you and you can put them on at your convenience.

Thanks & have a good week,
Cathy
