Hail Damage?
Has anyone been to the garden today? I know that some parts of Des Moines got some pretty bad hail last night. I was just curious if the garden had been affected.

I've noticed a couple of plots at the garden that appear to still be completely untouched. Has anyone tried to contact these plot holders? If they aren't interested in using their plot, we ought to…Continue

Our plot took a beating as well. Anything with big leaves (lettuce, chard, kale, broccoli, and green beans) has holes punched right through their leaves. I'm also hopeful that it will bounce back soon.
Caleb McClung replied to Stacia Zink's discussion 'Hail Damage?'
I went to the garden yesterday. My chard was hit hard, my spinach was pummeled, and my lettuce was destroyed. :( Several onions and tomato branches were snapped in half; we'll see how it looks in a week!

Kathy,
I believe that there is a tiller in the north side of the garden shed. I've never used it, but maybe someone that has some experience with it will offer their assistance. Happy growing!

I'd also love to discuss adding some more community growing areas. There has been some discussion about a berry patch and/or vine patch for melons and squashes.

We should probably spend some time cleaning/organizing the tool shed. It would also be good to get some kind of light it there. I know the shed doesn't have power, but some kind of battery powered touch lamp, or at least a flashlight…

Thanks for your input Craig! I love the idea of the herb spiral, but I'll admit the cost could be prohibitive. It's probably a good idea to think it over for this season, and decide what we'd like to do this…

I worked for a landscaping business for 3 years, and know a little bit about projects like the one being discussed here. The best time for such an endeavor would be in the fall, when the ground has dried out, otherwise you're going to get a…

So did they call them "marbles" because they were made of marble? Really neat find!

Hey folks, it's cold out there! Sorry to be such wimps, but I think Greg and I are gonna back out of this one. Hopefully things warm up soon, and we can do this again in the next couple of weeks.
Stacia Zink replied to Drew Matthew Maifeld's discussion 'Early Spring Work Day??'
Greg and I would like to come. My vote would be for Sunday afternoon, just cuz it will be starting to get cold by 5:00. Maybe around 3:00?
And I agree it's too early for a picnic. Just snacks would be fine with me.

Great! This all looks so cool! Let me know when the building begins, and I'll do what I can to help.

Ok, I found someone from Mirafi that will give me a section of geotextile filtration fabric for free. I'm still figuring out the details about when he'll be able to send it to me. We can place this under and on top of the…
Stacia Zink replied to Stacia Zink's discussion 'Labyrinth Idea - Herb Spiral'
I'm checking with some contacts about getting us some filtration fabric. I'll let everyone know what I find out.
Erica Abell Holland replied to Stacia Zink's discussion 'Labyrinth Idea - Herb Spiral'
I'm willing to pitch in a time or two to see this project work.
