A couple of things I need to share with y'all.
1. The June Tour will be to the Community Garden at the North County Food Bank. Chris, our speaker from May, will be updating us on all the changes and improvements done in the garden this spring. We will also be able to better see the irrigation system and weed-control methods used to keep down the huge amount of time (not to mention help needed) in a garden of that size. Even if you saw it late last summer, I am sure you will see something new this trip.
2. All 2018 paid members will receive a 2.2 pound bag of Mykos (pure mycorrhizal inoculant). Mycorrhizal inoculants have been around awhile and you can read more about the benefits on the Internet. Suffice it to say that if you garden you will want some of this. It retails on Amazon for $22 so bring your card or your dues so you can get a bag. (Jane, I left a voice message for you to check concerning memberships).
3. This Saturday, June 16, the Elk Camden GardenKeepers will have a booth at Elk Pioneer Days as voted for at the April meeting. Now we need you to put some time and/or plants in also. There are still openings (two-hour slots) that need to be filled so I don't burn out the regulars. We are going to have the opportunity to share about gardening, plants,and our great club and I can't imagine you would want to miss out (unless, of course, you are waiting for the Prize Patrol to show up at your door; but that isn't until the end of June according to my spouse). We need one person at 9-11 and 11-1; two persons 1-3, 3-5, 5-6. Laurie will have the signup sheet at the tour but if you can't make it you can respond to this email.
4. In case you haven't heard, the National Weather Service in Spokane has issued a "Freeze Alert" from 1 am to 7 am Tuesday morning for Elk and all areas North. Better cover up those tomatoes and other tender plants if you don't want to start the garden anew. Thirty degrees is possible and that will surely put an end to a lot of hard work.
I think I have covered it all. Look forward to seeing many, if not all, of you Tuesday in the Camden Grange parking lot where we will depart at 7 p.m. for the North County Community Garden Tour Version 2.
