Watering Update

Watering help is still needed until the drip system is fully in place and on a timer. Here is the watering plan so far. Please volunteer to keep the watering going … early mornings are best - evenings are next best … of course, Mother Nature has been stepping in and taking more than her share of turns lately. When she does, you may skip your watering turn.

Joan is working on getting some chalk for the chalkboard (located on the east side of the red shed)
- once the chalk is there, if you water, write it on the chalkboard, so the other watering volunteers know when the garden was last watered. If you cannot take your turn and it is clear that Mother Nature is otherwise occupied, call Joan.

NOTE: All rows are now planted and need water including some little tomatoes right up against the posts on the north side, herbs and tomatoes on the grass side, pumpkins on the east side next to the playground fence, and tomatoes and flowers in the sloping beds west of the garden outside the fence. The raised beds need watering - but probably fewer times per week - let's try Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays for now.

- Monday evenings - Julie
- Tuesday mornings - Sonia
- Wednesday evenings (May 28 & June 4) - Becky
- Wednesdays ________________
- Thursday evenings - Julie
- Fridays - Alison
- Saturday mornings - Jane
- Sunday mornings - Allison & Joan

I can water the next 2 Wednesday evenings (May 28 & June 4), but I will be gone most the rest of June.

Joan--I'll plan on Monday morning unless it's a downpour.
