Thanks to everyone who made it to the clean-up and/or kick-off yesterday! It was nice to put faces to names, and we got a lot of work done preparing the garden for plowing, even though it was pretty cold. If you haven't yet done so, we need you to make the time to clear your plot of all fences, stakes, cages, and tall weeds as soon as possible.
Fences and stakes store behind the garden shed, and cages are currently snuggled in between the shed and the garden fence. The university won't plow until it's dry, and there's still some standing water in the garden, but a few warm days might be enough to dry the soil and we need to be ready.
As part of the kickoff, the shed combination lock has been updated (new combination: 2011) and we did a major shed cleanup as well.
We printed up some handouts about NJ gardening (when to plant, varieties that do well, tips specific to our garden, etc) and made them available at the social. I'm going to stick some extra packets in the shed, so if you missed the party but still want info, stop by and pick one up (or email me with your address and I will drop one in your mailbox).
