Grab a pitchfork and a shovel and meet us in the garden at 1 p.m. on Sunday, 11/15 for a fall workday. We will be expanding the garden by eight plots. One of those is to be dedicated to produce for the Northfield Food Pantry, and there's a word-of-mouth campaign to fill the others. Tell your friends.
Thank you Jim!
I've asked Jim Brooks to take over some of the organizing... actually, I'd say he is
de facto grand poobah at this point. My thanks to Jim for taking interest and remaining dedicated to this wonderful project -- and especially for pulling together such a hoedown for the harvest festival. Oooo-de-lolly!
Water tank news
We need to get some screening around the tank -- 5-foot wood fencing would be nice. Does anyone know of someone replacing fence, or storing extra sections? If we don't get a fence donation, maybe we'll get lucky and find a deep discount somewhere. Help us watch for that. Also, we need to hook up the gutter and the spigot. And we could use a super long hose (100+ feet) and a heavy-duty spool. If you have ideas or resources in this area, please contact Andy Rogers.
