Message: Hi All! Just a few things to keep us all up to date (not up
late).
1- Alix has added a new way to contact the maintenance crew when
needed (for things like mower repair, water line stuff, broken tools,
etc). It’s located in the top line of the dropdown menus under CONTACTS.
Use it. This will get things fixed more quickly.
2. The fruit team met a few weeks ago to look over the fruit trees
and bushes, and to co-ordinate efforts for maintenance. Three pear
trees and one peach were planted as well. Things are looking good!
3. The cash crops team needs to begin training the tomatoes on the
cattle panels, and setting a watering schedule for the three crops
(soybeans, hot peppers, and tomatoes). The watering system will be
installed once the final water spigot is put in near the Zingaro’s.
4. You may have noticed the new water spigot poles (hose hangers
soon to come) installed by Scott Z. Many thanks and well done Scott!
5. There was some good information at the Summer Solstice Festival
about the Virginia Independant Consumers and Farmers Association
(VICFA). This group’s mission is “to promote and preserve
unregulated direct farmer to consumer trade that fosters availability
of locally grown or home-produced products.” It’s a great group, very
much in line wiht our garden. Anyone who wants to become a memeber
($25 annual membership) to support them, please see me. I’ll also
put some brochures at the garden.
That’s all for now. The garden looks great! Good teamwork.
