For garden members who have helped us in any way in the gardens this year I am bringing:

Lettuce

Garlic

So far I know who is coming to work tonight.  They will receive harvest.

If you can come and even help us for a few minutes in the garden and pick up some harvest, that would be awesome. 

Let me know so I have plenty for everyone.

We need your help in South Jordan A garden Wednesday between 6:30 - 8:30 PM.

South Jordan A Garden address: 11371 South 2865 West


Come and help for as long as you can.
We need to quickly pull some weeds,then lay the black plastic down, then cover the edges with dirt, then plant if there's time.
Hopefully there won't be much wind.
Let me know if you are coming so I have enough treats for everyone.
If you have a shovel, bring it.
Bring garden gloves and some water.

The big push all this week is to get our 3 south Jordan gardens planted, since they are the largest and most demanding.

Thank you so much for your help!

Holladay B Garden

The temperatures are warming up which puts a bigger urgency in some of our gardens.

Help me finish this drip line today

I need to start watering our peas that have been growing like crazy!  We will be harvesting these within a month, so if you can help me today, Tuesday, let me know via email or phone.  If we don't get it done today, we'll finish on Wed. but I need to water them soon.

Holladay A Garden

Lettuce is growing like crazy along with all of the garlic.  Garlic needs to be weeded and cut and have a simple drip line system set up there as well.  If you can help, please let me know via email or phone.

South Jordan A, B & C Gardens

We need your help, especially this week, to do the following (In this order)

1) finish laying the drip lines  (South Jordan C)

2)  finish laying all of the black plastic mulch (South Jordan A, B, C) 

3)  Get all the plants in

These are the top priority gardens since they are our largest and most demanding.  The other gardens will take much less time getting planted so if you are able, please help us with these gardens first and then we'll finish all of the other gardens.  Just know that ALL of us will be eating a LOT of the food coming out of all of the South Jordan Gardens so this work will benefit your own family.   The prep work is mostly done in all of the other other gardens as well.

Geralee and I will be over at South Jordan C Garden early this morning, Tuesday, May 15, so call me (801-278-5313) or just come over and help us with this drip line between 8 - 9:30 am (if you see this message in time).

I'll be updating the entire MASTER GARDEN CALENDAR and taking out any mid-day work times.  With the heat, we'll be ONLY working first thing in the morning 7 - 10 am OR after 6 pm. 

 

With the hot temperatures upon us, we will work either in the morning or evenings to avoid the heat.

Who can help in Holladay gardens anytime Tuesday morning between 8 - 10 am.

We are finishing the drip line system in Holladay b garden.

Let me know.

Thanks so much

There is a lot of early spring crops growing in this garden right now. 

Lettuce, spinach, radishes, onions, potatoes, and much more!

If you are able, please help us weed, especially around these crops.

We will be planting all of our summer crops in this garden starting next week!

I hope you'll join us!

Be sure and talk with Shelly, our South Jordan A Coordinator, if you are willing to help us with this garden.

You are invited to go from garden to garden and help us where ever there are "hot spots".

We especially need a lot of help in the 3 South Jordan AND 1 West Jordan Gardens since they are currently our largest and most demanding garden properties in our organization.

The remaining 3/4 of the garden still needs to be raked this week before we can plant. 

To do list: South Jordan C Garden

If you can help, Geralee will be thrilled!  Let her know.

Clear "fox tail" weeds away from all fence lines and perimeter of garden.

Put the weeds by the compost bins in corner.

**************

Dig out wood fence posts in middle of garden and also the metal pole.

Place these items by back garden gate, so they can be hauled away.

**************

Cut off dead wood from grape vines. 

To find out if it is dead, take a pocket knife to scrape some of the bark.

If it's green inside, it is not dead. Leave it alone.

If it's brown, it is dead.  

***************

Plant long grape vines  in ground every 5 feet, to promote new grape vine plants.  

Lay the vines down in 6" troughs, then cover with dirt a few inches deep.

The results:  A lot more grape vines growing in our garden. 

We'll be working in our newest garden, located here in Holladay.  I don't have the exact address yet so either be at my home (2836 E. Casto Lane) at 1 pm OR call me since we are going approx. 5 minutes or less from my home.  801-278-5313.  This will be garden #10.

Lorell, who is a very skilled man and my #1 assistant for all of our 10 gardens, would LOVE some help installing this very large dripline irrigation system today.

No experience, skill or serious muscles are required to help him, since there are plenty of ways you can help him, HOWEVER, if you do have skills, talent, experience, etc. in this area, we will be thrilled to have you come over and help anytime between 2 pm until dark in South Jordan C Garden, 9978 So. Redwood Road.

ANY help or time would be greatly appreciated - even 30 minutes!

ANY food or refreshing beverage you could take over to him and the crew would be GREATLY appreciated since this is a long, tedious job today.

EVERYONE who receives food this summer will be getting part of their produce from this garden property, so this is one easy way you could significantly contribute. 

Please don't bring any children today.

Don't worry about RSVP'ing.  Just show up and ask Lorell how you can help.
