PEANUTS, PUMPKINS and POPSICLE PARTY
That's what in store for your family this Wednesday evening, June 15th, at 'The Garden' from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. The children will be planting peanuts and pumpkins, and cooling off with popsicle treats. Parents and youth will help prepare the ground for our excited little gardners, and will vie for the priviledge of picking the first ripe tomato, and bell pepper or chili pepper from the
"The Garden".
The family that guesses the number of ripening tomatoes in the rows gets first choice to pick. (My guess is 103. What do you think?) The cucumbers are blooming... the squash is strutting its stuff... beans are growing... weeds are dying!

HELP WANTED!!
 |
| Get Ready for some Squash |
We need some help turning over the soil where the children will be planting. If you can come ahead anytime and help us, just go on down to 'The Garden". The short rows are tagged with a red flag on the north fence. Spade on both sides of the furrow (small trench) from the existing plants northward to the fence.
 |
| Everything is greowing and looking good. |
Thanks to Mike Alexander for the sturdy tool table and Dave Mortensen for the construction It is so nice to have all the equipment organized. Please return the hand spades that are missing.

| Don't Worry, I have fixed it so they don't slide as bad now |
Other Needs
Also needed are pieces of 1/2" rebar about 14-18" long. We are going to use sunscreening over PVC hoops to protect the tomatoes from sunscorch. The PVC will slip down over the rebar stakes in the ground. The sunscreening is now covering the compost pile. Does anyone have old, scrap tarp that we could use to cover the compost pile, and protect it from blowing away? (Call Bill or Ada 673-2663)
Important Notice
The electric fence is NOT operating yet. We haven't had a varmint problem, but expect night visitors as soon as the produce
gets tasty. Come this evening to learn how the electric fence works so you can EASILY AND SAFELY turn it off before entering.
