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.

Our Holladay A Garden is full of wonderful, delicious tossed salad makings!  For those who have helped in our gardens so far this year, this is your first REAL treat from the gardens!

If you want some, you'll need to come and pick since this is a harvest that can be time consuming for one person to have to do all the work.  We'll teach you how to pick this crop.

We receive over 11,000 bagels each year from local bakeries who do a trade with us.  If you want bagels,

Work to do:

This weekend, if any adults are available and willing to help with the Turkey Processing, Sat. Nov. 12, 9 am - 12 noon-ish, it would be much appreciated.  You don't have to stay for the whole time. This is a great opportunity to learn valuable skills in how to raise your own poultry to eat.  We have been raising 14 turkeys.  See the Turkey Processing blog I posted recently for more details.

That is the only garden work needed this weekend.

 

Food available:

I have apples, green tomatoes and plenty of bagels, as always.  If you want some, email me to set up a time, and plan to come to my Holladay A Garden to pick up. 

Remember, we have bagels every week through out the year, so let me know if you want some.

Check the garden blog on a daily basis, to hear all the latest news.  We continue to be a year round Garden Group for those who are interested in helping us during the fall and winter months. 

Since I know there are a lot fewer people interested during these months, you won't be getting as many emails from me, but I continue to post valuable information almost daily on this blog.

What to expect from this blog during the fall and winter months:

 

Recipes-

(not just mine but I would LOVE to have you email me your favorite garden recipes and I'll be very happy to post them!)  Especially recipes that include pumpkin, green tomatoes, winter squash, apples and other fall crops.  But not only fall crops, send me any of your favorite recipes for tomatoes, pears, peas, and every other crop that we produce here in Utah.

 

 

Garden Knowledge -

I am eager to help you develop valuable gardening skills and while we don't spend as much time in the garden, now is the best time to learn why we do what we do.  I will post valuable tidbits of information to help you learn HOW TO grow a successful garden in northern Utah.

 

 

Currently food and produce available -

We continue to get food for our garden members right through the winter.  You won't get it however, unless you ask for it.  Just know that I always have plenty of fresh, delicious bagels, and a limited amount of Artisan Breads (those are mostly available only on Mondays).  Currently I still have LOTS of delicious apples, green and red tomatoes.  I'll put food in the cooler for you if you email me to let me know when you are coming.

Work to be done -

We work inside the greenhouse during the winter AND outside in the gardens (depending on the weather)

Lots of produce still available for garden members

RSVP via text, email or phone, then come, pick up produce anytime during the day on Friday or Saturday between 8 am - 6 pm. Everything is in the greenhouse.  Go to the backyard, then follow the orange cones around to the entrance of the greenhouse. 

Holladay B Garden: 

I need help on Sat. in the Holl. B Garden (On Casto Lane, approx. 5 houses up the street from my place).

Yesterday, Friday, we got many of the fence posts up but now we need to get the ground cleared from weeds so we can put the fence up soon.  This is all in preparation for planting 1000 ft. of peas in Feb.

We also need to dig up the Oregano, Sage, Chives and Thyme, and take these to the greenhouse at the Holladay A Garden during the winter months.

Let me know when you can come.

 

I'll be home by 12 noon, but if you want to come sooner and I'll try and mark the areas you can start on.

Just let me know.  Thanks so much in advance!

 

Holladay A Garden: 

I just need 1 - 2 people taking the green tomatoes off of the vines and discarding the vines.  It will give us more room to move around in the greenhouse.  It won't take long to remove the vines and then organize the tomatoes.

Let me know if you can do this.

 

Before Friday's storm, we need help in our Holladay Gardens Thursday, Nov. 3, 12:30 - 2 pm.

Meet at my home or contact me if you come after 12:30 pm.

We need help picking 2 loaded apple trees near my home AND also putting in a bunch of fence posts.

We may be done before 2 pm.

RSVP if possible.

801-278-5313

Any amount of help will be appreciated.

In return, I'll be glad to give you plenty of large, beautiful apples and bagels!

During the spring, fall and winter months, we especially do a lot of work in our Holladay Gardens.  Holladay A is our large greenhouse while Holladay B is where we plant a lot of peas in February and harvest them in May. 

Work in Holladay B Garden putting up Fences

While we are dodging storms this week, we need help getting in the Holladay B Garden, getting fence posts and fences up before winter, so we can plant peas in February.

 

Harvest Available all this week - the sooner, the better

There is a lot of produce available for all garden members!!  RSVP and let me know when you can come.  It is all in the greenhouse.   Do not take the giant pumpkins since we are cutting them up so more people can enjoy some pumpkin.

Lots of delicious tomatoes, apples and artisan bread.

I should be home the rest of the day until 7:30 pm.

 

Still plenty of time to win prizes from the Fall Membership Contest, (ends midnight on Nov. 16), click here for details

 

 

 

I haven't gone to the store yet to buy Halloween Candy and since I can't give apples and large cherry tomatoes to  Trick or Treaters tonight, I'll give you the good stuff and you give me a bunch of sugar and fat! 

RSVP to let me know you are coming.  Email, text or phone message.  I have plenty of really good food and produce to make it worth your while to come over!
