Dear Gardeners,

Your gardens are looking beautiful!  It's my favorite thing to walk around the garden and see all of your plants sprouting and growing.  I am continually amazed by how everyone's garden is so different too!  What creative things you are all doing with a 9 x 23 foot piece of land!  Please see the following weekly reminders below:

Help!-Our entire group e-mail list was recently lost due to a technical difficulty.  Yikes!  I needed to retype all of your e-mails!  We currently have 159 gardeners on the list.  Please let me know if you want me to add (or delete) any of your friends or family members to the list.  I apologize if you already requested this.  I lost many of those e-mails.

Milk as Fungicide- Bring your empty (and clean) spray bottle!  I will be putting out a raw milk/water solution to be used as a fungicide for your plants.  It will be located on the storage boxes by the Southeast gate of the garden.  Spray this liberally on the leaves of your plants, especially your squash and cucumbers.

Rain Barrels- There are 2 rain barrels that collect rainwater from the roof of the heritage center.  They are located at the back side of the heritage center, just across from the garden.  They are painted like a sky and clouds.  Please feel free to use this water to fill your watering cans.

•Garden Ornaments- The girl scouts will be selling garden ornaments again this week.  The ornaments are $15 each.  Help support the girl scouts!

Happy Gardening!
