Hi all-
I should have the garlic this weekend. Drop me an e-mail so I can arrange getting garlic to you.

I grow hardneck varieties every year. I highly recommend it. It grows easily, has very few pests and reliably produces. I plant in the fall when soil temps reach 40 degrees. I cover them with a couple inches of straw or leaves to reduce damage from…
Garlic has been ordered! We found a place in Illinois that charged a bit less and ordered three varieties that should grow well in Iowa. I should have it mid-October and we can arrange distribution and payment details then. Until then, happy harvest…
Amy -- I really do not need any specialty varities -- and I need only enough to grow for fun and for myself. Rebecca
Mmmm, 20 lbs of garlic....I can smell the salsa & spag. sauce now! :)
Sounds tasty to me! :)
What package were you thinking?
Hi Amy -- I am interested in splitting a package.
Rebecca
I am in. :)
Planning on gardening in the same plot next year? Interested in using your plot over winter? I'm planning on ordering garlic to plant in the fall, which will be ready to harvest in late spring/early summer. There is a great farm which has package de…
I can also see why people might be confused and think that "community" means "communal."
Perhaps we should pursue making signs that explains that each garden plot is cared for by an individual person, provides information about signing up for a plo…
I'm busy all Saturday. Let me know if you change your plans and want to try to catch it later in the week. Otherwise, we can chat about it later at the garden.
Tonight seems like very short notice; how about figuring out a day and time that works for us next week? I assume it will be showing at least through Wed. of next week. Anytime after 5:00 usually works for me, and I'm open any night except Tuesday n…
I want to see Food, Inc. but I don't think I can make either of the weekend showings. What would you think about trying Tuesday or Thursday of next week?
I'm definitely interested in having a Sunday Potluck-- I'll post it as an event and hopefully the weather will cooperate.

Jonathan Corbett said… - Actual, instead of putting the soil test in the plot holders group you should put it in the master gardener corner group. The people who would be most interested in this information are those who are wanting to learn more about gardening.

- Hi Amy, I would like to see a copy of the soil test. Also, you can upload files when you either start or are apart of a discussion. So if you go back to the plot holder's group, just start a new discussion and upload the file through that.
Also, whenever you have some free time, you should check out and join the "Master Gardener's Corner" group. This group will hopefully become a place where people can come to share their knowledge about gardening with everyone else.
