Hello Gardeners and Potential Gardeners!!

Gee, what's happened to winter? So far it has not rained much and it has not been very cold. There, now that I posted that it will rain and snow until July, right?


For winter quarter the garden will have meetings/work parties every Wednesday from noon - 2 pm.

We meet outside in the garden but if there is any interest we will also do indoor meetings/potlucks (pot-luk: bring food)

Our beloved advisor is checking to see if we can use the farmhouse over winter quarter. There is

no PSA class this winter so hopefully it will be open. Alternatively, I will see if we can use the farm

work room.
Meetings are for Gardeners, Potential Gardeners or anyone who wants to do stuff outside in the winter.


The list of projects is getting longer, not shorter :-)  I am posting the winter project list and the status of each project.

Hopefully you will find something that interests you...



List:

Tool Inventory. (DONE!!)


Stack and Organize the donated pots so they are ready for spring starts (currently stacked outside fence by rain barrels)


Store lumber that is over by the greenhouse


Clean out Greenhouse


Tool Cleaning and Sharpening. (Started)


Prepare soil in greenhouse and clean up the surrounding area


"Re-grid" the garden. Plots have been encroaching on paths. Let's find out how many plots we
really have available.(Started)


Restore Pathways. Leveling and applying wood chips in places.


Tool Shopping


Flip Compost Piles. (On-going project)


Build New Compost Piles. This could be smelly as it involves chicken manure.


Mulch Fence line. (I started this, using straw - Also we can plan what we want to plant there this year. Last year we did
pumpkins and cucumbers with some success.


Also, it would be fun to show a movie over the winter. I am hoping to show Greenhorns if that's cool with everybody.

We can pop corn and give away tickets. I was hoping to get a few local farmers to come and chat with the movie goers

too. Anybody want to help on this one? Or have other garden related movies to show?




Later in the winter around mid-February:

Form Central Plot gardening team

Crop planning for Central Plot

Seed Order


(Note: I oiled the lock but it is still kind of bogus so I will be getting a new

lock soon. I will email the combo to registered gardeners.)
