Becca, use the member roster and look up Deanna.
The weeding and compost soil amendment went well. We are on schedule to plant the pollinator garden this Saturday, May 9th @ 11 am. The weather should be beautiful, so bring a shovel, rake, gloves, and your mask! We will finish up the southern garden bed.
Here are the notes from our meeting for executing the Pollinator Garden project: Step 1 – Soil Prep and Weeding
- We agreed to split the soil prep up into 2 days: Sat April 25 & May 2.
- This doesn’t need a lot of coordination, just please take photos and let us know your progress, by posting here.
- Bring a tarp with you to pile the weeds on, so they can be easily disposed.
- Bring a small hand digging shovel and fork, a rake, gloves.
- @Aline will find a good youtube video on how to best prep the bed and post it here, so we can all be on the same page with what we are doing.
- We need to pickup 2 1/2 yards of soil from Lane Forest. Edie, Janine, Cliff, Becca have all volunteered to do this. This equals to 5 truck loads.
- Once the beds are prepped and weeded, we can coordinate the soil and plant pick up for Saturday May 9 planting. This will need to be much more coordinated.
Sorry you missed it Linda. One thing we learned today, was you need to reload / refresh your browser a lot to see new comments….
Okay! I think this was pretty successful virtual meeting. I am going to close it now. Obviously you can still reply to stuff. =)
I will take the detailed planning over the Garden Bed topic, and make a post of all the notes, dates, etc there for easy reference.
Aline will be online until noon so you can ask her any questions regarding Sowing Seeds.
I think that’s a wrap! Thanks for joining us, and stay healthy! =)
Ok, as Cheryl rightly brought up, let’s plan on soil prep over 2 days: Sat April 25 and May 2nd.
Since it is just soil prep, we can go anytime, solo or small groups and keep our distance. We as a state / community are doing so well, let’s keep up the good work, and be smart!
I am sure everyone is missing each other, as much as I miss you all.
We will need a much more coordinated approach on planting day. But the soil prep can be much more laid back.
PS: As you prep the soil or do work on the garden beds, please take photos and post them to that discussion, and show off your work! =)
Hi Cheryl,
When we do this we will be mindful and can do this responsibly, and keep our distance. The April and May dates for prep looked like members liked both. So maybe we split up the taks between the two date with smaller groups, so we can be safe about it.
I for one am not willing to put anyone (including family) in jeopardy!
So I total concur with what you are saying. =)
