Hello Everyone!



Hot weather is upon us...Yay! Water, water, water!

I was foraging in the gardens this evening for my dinner and noticed that the saskatoons are ripe. And huge! Help yourselves everyone. We have two trenches - one on the inside of the front chainlink fence to the right of the gate if you are looking at the garden from the street (in front of the greenhouse) and the other is on the outside of the wood fence on the other side of the lilac hedge. Small containers please so that there is enough to go around. Some raspberries are ready and the rest are not far behind.

Workshop dates as promised...

The Weed Workshop July 29th 6:30-7:30pm
Weed identification. What grows where and why. What's edible and what's not. Weeds can tell us a lot and so can Randy Lamb, DUGS board president, when he hosts the workshop.

The Taste Tour August 5th 6:30-7:30pm
Ever wonder what that interesting thing is growing in the bed next to yours is? Well here's your chance. Tour the garden. Check out what's growing. Nibble like rabbits. Don't worry, everyone's beds are safe. There'll be very little visible damage...:)

Come one, come all. Tell your friends. Tell your families...all the cool kids will be there...;)

On that note, I will see you all on Wednesday!
