Most of the leadership team (Betsi, Cheryl, Jill, Judy and Kim) plus Grover Bosley, Rich Kurzawski and Russ Koons came together in the afternoon to erect the hoop house over planting bed #1, put up a new sign post, and put a new cork board for bulletins in the large shed. Here are a few of the photos that Cheryl Bosley took during the action. Russ also cut a path through planting box #20 for easier kid access to planting boxes 21 - 24 and room for Cheryl to put up the squash and pumpkin tunnel.
Tomatoes were planted in the hoop house and in planting bed #5. We will have 16 tomato plants this year thanks to Valley Nursery - 4 Super Sweet, 4 Sunset Gold, 4 Early Girl, and 4 San Marzano (a plum tomato).
The weather was perfect for a summer day - sunny and temperature around 85 degrees. All of the planted beds were watered thoroughly by Judy and ideas for setting up a timed watering system using our two new spigots were discussed. According to the weather gossip it is going to be a warm dry summer. We will need the auto-irrigation.
The next Garden Leadership Team Meeting is Monday, May 19th. It will be held from 1pm - 3pm in the 2nd Floor meeting room at Poulsbo City Hall. There is a lot of free parking in basement of the building and we would love to have input from other Master Gardeners, so please join us.
The next garden work PARTY is Thursday, May 22nd from 9am - 12noon. Judy Morgan will be the lead. I bet she brings "Aussie Bites" for snacks. We have much planting, weeding, and arranging to do before the Children's Programs start on June 23rd.
Your Leadership Team is here to serve the garden and our volunteers! Please let us know your thoughts.
