Several of the Garden Volunteers had an impromptu evening picnic last Sunday, which was enjoyed by all that attended. We continue to harvest spring veggies, and are starting to plant summer crops. The drip-irrigation system is now completed. With the weather being so dry, the drip system should be used at least 4 times a week for 45 minutes to an hour. You only need to turn the faucet about a half turn when using the system. But please poke a finger in the soil first to see if it is moist, because someone else may have already watered.
We are still looking for some bamboo for making towers for our tomatoes, peas and other climbing vegetables. Just drop off the bamboo at the garden. I priced a picnic table at Lowes and Home Depot and they are about $100. Since we have one in our budget, we need a volunteer with a truck to go purchase one. You will be reimbursed and we can coordinate help offloading the table. It will be a great addition. Please call me if you are interested in helping with the picnic table purchase.
