Both barrels are full with water. (You might have missed the part where the hose that goes across the road to hook up to the spigot exploded and we weren't able to water for five days.) Any 50' hose can now connect the end coming out of the ground with the spigot. I have the two good 50' hoses at home, but we were worried about them getting stolen. We watered everything Thursday afternoon, and Karen watered Friday afternoon. It will be cool & dry this weekend, no real rain in sight. For those who are worried about frost tonight, everything that is in the ground is frost tolerant and not a concern. That'll teach you to believe that a weekend of 90 degree weather means it's summer!
We don't have any scheduled work time this weekend, but if you want to go over to work some, let me know & I can tell you something that needs doing. I'll be around some, but not sure when.
We will, however, have a major workday NEXT Saturday, so leave room for it. I suspect we will also be doing prep on Friday, so if that's time you are available, we can probably use your time & energy.
Karen is coordinating watering in general and particularly this weekend: Here is the schedule so far:
Fri 5/22 Karen
Sat 5/23 Karen 12pm (also meeting Charlotte there)
Sun 5/24 Judy S.
Mon. 5/25 ??
Rennie tilled the winter wheat and general weeds with the tractor, so we should be able to plant next weekend. Any long grass that wasn't tilled in should be pulled out by hand, which is pretty easy to do, the sooner the better. It should probably be rototilled again before we plant though.
John is organizing the memberships & assigning plots. We are figuring people can start working in their plots next weekend. If you haven't done anything to make yourself an actual member for the year, contact John and make it official.
The shed is in process, but the earliest it will go into the garden will be the 28th, with the fence to come in shortly after, meaning the following week during work days.
That's what I've got for now folks
