Hello All!
This is Taylor (Jean’s intern) posting/filling in for Jean
while she is abroad in Portugal.
A quick announcement that the
June Garden Resource Day has been pushed back. The Garden Resource Day will now
take place Saturday, June 16th, from 10 am-1 pm at the Fort Scott Community Garden!
The garden resource day at Fort Scott Community garden that was originally scheduled to take place on
June 9th will be pushed back to Saturday June 16th. We’ve pushed it back so
that we’ll be able to provide you all with seedlings (they need to grow for a
bit longer before we give them away).
Summer plot checks are scheduled for Tuesday, July 17th. Emily, Jean, and I will be checking all of the garden beds. What are we looking for?
Summer plot checks are scheduled for Tuesday, July 17th. Emily, Jean, and I will be checking all of the garden beds. What are we looking for?
- No vegetables are overgrown, bolting, flowering, or seeding unless that is food.
- There are not an excessive number of weeds.
- Weeds are not flowering or making seeds.
- Pathways are weeded and free of any items (i.e. chairs, pots)
- Vegetables are being harvested and watered.
- There are no excessive pests.
On a separate note, I hope that you all are enjoying these
beautiful early summer days. The sunshine has made the past week of gardening
an absolute treat for me. So many different flowers have started blooming because of all this heat and sunshine- my favorites are the dahlias I’ve seen blossoming in the
Fort Scott community garden!
Also, we had an incredible harvest of veggies this past week! These veggies will go to the Intern CSA box and the different restaurants in the Presidio. So exciting stuff is going on in the garden despite our
fearless leader (aka Jean) being absent. I wanted to remind you all that while
Jean is away, Emily Lovell and I are your primary points of contact regarding
any issues or problems you may be facing with your garden beds. Please feel
free to reach out to either (or both) of us. You can reach us using the
following email addresses: tjais@presidiotrust.gov
Thanks for your time! I hope to see you all Saturday the 16th
of June at the Fort Scott Community Garden for our Garden Resource Day.
