Garden Plot update

At the Spring Creek garden plots 8, 9, and 10 are taken, plots 1, 4, and 7 are for single plot gardeners.

If you have or do not have garden preferences shoot me an email or leave me a voice mail, it will help me get through the list faster, and I will be sending out confirmation to everyone as soon as I get all the plots matched with their gardener.

I made no progress on the Bluff garden plots tonight, however, Sargent's Nursery did, and I hear it looks great, nice dark soil. They should be able to get the tilling done tomorrow, from what I hear. Yay!

I will tackle the lottery plot assignment list tomorrow again.

Master gardener Paul Schaefer has offered to teach a class on composting at home. Composting is a great way to get rid of a lot of kitchen and some household waste rather than throwing them into the trash and it’s a nutritious food for all plants, indoor plants and out door flower or vegetable beds. Another great way to use the compost is to mix it with water and use it as a nutrient rich liquid plant food.
