Garden Helpers 

•  We thank B. Buiten for tending the garden last week. 

•  R. Boes will tend the garden this week.  I noticed there are a lot of peas that need to be picked and taken to Food Gatherers.  We planted pea pods, so we want them thin.  These are not the peas for chucking.

We still have 2 weeks needing a volunteer to tend our garden.  They are:

Other News

1. The garden gate door has something chewing away at the wood, where the top and bottom sections meet.  It is noticeable when you open the door and look at the end.  I watched for a bit, but did not see any ants or bees coming and going.  Please keep an eye on this and notify me if you discover who are the intruders.  Thanks!
2. Our Faith and Food Garden Sign is in need of attention.  It has done well for 5 years, but now needs to be scraped, sanded down and some new polyurethane applied.  Is anyone able to do this from this group?  If not, could anyone recommend someone and even go a step farther and ask them if they would be willing to give our sign the attention it needs.  Please let me know.
3. Today I replaced a large section of hose, that had been eaten up by the lawn mower crew's machines, with a new 50' hose.  We are looking into purchasing some PVC piping to encase our hoses to help protect them.
