May at Oak

Hello fellow gardeners,

May is a great month to get most seeds and starts in the ground, so it can be a busy time! We’ll keep it short!

Here are a few updates:

WATERING SYSTEM

The watering system will get increasing use as things heat up. Please help us keep the system intact by handling the hoses with care and turning the water OFF before you leave the garden.

There is a spare nozzle in the garden shed, which can be used in a pinch if one of the other nozzles seizes up or breaks. And of course, let us know by email or phone call if there are any issues.

GREEN WASTE

Lots of folks are pulling up last year’s growth, which is awesome. Please help us out by doing a thorough job shaking dirt off the roots before transferring to the Green Waste Bins. Soil in the green waste bins = a huge headache for us! Thanks for your help with this.

NEWCOMERS TO THE GARDEN

We’d like to take this opportunity to welcome this year’s new gardeners. Please make an effort to welcome new folks if you see them in the garden, and be sure to extend a helping hand with growing advice or garden know-how.

Our little garden can be quite an oasis. Let’s keep the good vibes going.

Happy sunshine,
