WEEDS BE GONE!!

We had the best weed-getting crew out today!!  The sunshine is helping our plants grow really well, but also helping the weeds grow...so the weeding party was really important!  THANK YOU!!

 Nope!  These aren't weeds...they're lettuce and spinach that is bolting...meaning it's done growing the good stuff we like to eat...and they need to be fed to the chickens!!  *_*  Good job, girls!!

 

SPECIAL THANKS!!

Wanted to give a special thanks to Kim Nielsen, Gary Zabriskie, and Rod Hunt for their extreme efforts in fixing the major (or seemingly!) problem where some of the timers weren't working, thus some of the beds were not watering automatically.  A lot of digging, testing, changing out solenoids, trying new things, etc., didn't solve the problem!  Thankfully, the weather turned cold and the garden didn't die due to lack of watering.  And then Kim found the solution with some help from Google.  Voile!!  Everything is working in tip-top shape. 

So much effort from so many people is what has made the Santa Clara Community Garden continue on in such great fashion!!  Ten years for a community garden is quite a feat!!  And it has served so many purposes for so many people!!

Thank you!!
