March updates-weeds, rain, and calendar changes

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all staying well and are glad to have a place outside to spend some time. If you have extra gardening time, or extra hands (I heard SFUSD is closed starting Monday), the community spaces and pathways around the plots in some of the gardens can really use some help. This is officially your responsibility as a garden member. But any mulched pathways can be weeded by anyone, so lend a hand to maintain the work that volunteers have put into the gardens over the last year. Thanks in advance for helping tend our neighborhood garden gems!

It looks like we are poised to get some rain, which is great! But it also looks like it's happening this Saturday-Tuesday. I will still be at the Ft Scott Garden with compost and seedlings on Saturday from 11am-2pm. In acknowledgement of the rain, and the fact that many people are working from home, compost and seedlings will also be available at the Ft Scott Garden on Wednesday 3/18 from 3-6pm, and Friday 3/20 from 11am-2pm. If you borrow buckets, please plan to return them same day so they are available for the next give-away.

Seedlings that will be available: kale, cabbage-red and green, broccoli- green and purple, lettuce, Romanesco, and chard.

The West Washington Garden compost evening is scheduled for 3/17. I'll email the garden members that afternoon if it's raining to reschedule.

Finally, I think it's only best to cancel our Spring Pizza Potluck scheduled for 3/28. This is one of my favorite events- we'll reschedule once it seems reasonable to do so.
