MARK you Calendars for 3rd Annual Spring Fling

This year's Spring Fling Celebration is going to be very special. Mark your calendars Saturday, MAY 30th, from 12pm- 3pm.

Our school will dedicate the SUNflowers that are being installed around the exterior. There will be food, games, Master Gardener demonstrations, and stations where you can build your own garden salad planter, paint pots, a bicycle tuning station, summer camp sign up, and music from Vestal's Marimba and String instruments.

Help us celebrate Vestal turning a new leaf with their SUN program and plant seeds for the Fall Harvest.

April 11th Work Party

Hi Gardeners.

Reserve the date.  There will be a work party to prepare the vacated plots for new gardeners.  The work party will be on April 11th from 1:00 to 3:00.  Plan to be there if you can make it.  A flyer for the party is posted on the toolshed.

The water has been turned on.  The water is traditionally turned on around April 1st, after the threat of a hard frost has passed.

I was over to test the temperature of the beds today.  The temperature of the raised bed is 60.  This is warm enough to sprout all but the most heat loving seeds.  Raised bed 2A (next to the fence) has been reserved for Produce for People.  If raised bed 1A is not assigned by early May, we can use it for an additional P4P plot. 

The temperature of the ground level P4P bed is 55.  Not quite warm enough to sprout many seeds, but certainly warm enough to take starts.  I started some lettuce seeds for P4P, and will put the starts out on the table next week.  I'm hardening off the starts this week, so they'll be ready to plant next week.

See you in the garden,

Paul.
