Me too! :) The owners seem to be alright with our digging. I am planning on planting the Lilac tree because everyone seems to love Lilacs here and they already have peonies, I don't think the Lilac is too much of a stretch. I was thinking about dona…

I was wondering that myself. I rent and I don't know if the owner would like it too much if I starting digging around on their property.

2010 Plot Sign Up

Now that spring is just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about what we plan on growing at the garden this year and what we need to do to prepare.

To help begin the plot coordination and distribution process for 2010 we first need to know who wants to keep their plot. Current plot holders will have the opportunity to keep theirs if they would like to do so; however, if you are leaving the garden and do not intend to maintain a plot, we need to know that as well. Once we have compiled a list of current gardeners who want to keep a plot, we will be able to identify the number of potential plots for new gardeners.

Please send a message to Christine Pardee and/or Grant Thompson, the 2010 plot coordinators, by March 20th with this information. A plot-sign up will be held the last week of March for all returning gardeners and new gardeners. Please check the website for further details and updates, and and feel free to contact Christine or Grant with questions or concerns. We can be contacted by accessing our Member profile and sending us an e-mail within .ning.
