Yesterday we were back in the garden in full force. Following is this week’s VegHeadz coordinator report from Cathy Alfano. Just a sample of what our Wednesday workday is like from week to week. Join us any Wednesday to learn more, help, or just hang out

| Evelyn and Peggy |
Hi there, VegHeadz. We had a great turnout today!
We weed whacked and hand weeded in the forest, and Janis trimmed some of the trees. Camille and Heather weeded in the upper flower bed and you can really see the improvement. Everyone worked in their beds, pulling weeds, planting cover crops and preparing for fall.
Peggy reinforced her trellising for the tomatoes, and the roselle is plumping up. Evelyn weeded around the upper beds and some pathways. Joanne was working in her beds, as was Glenn. Dave was prepping Bed 10 for his fall snap peas. Carole’s milkweed has taken a leap forward and its blooms were attracting a steady stream of butterflies.

| Monarch butterfly on Milkweed. Can you find it? |
Laurie was weeding and watering the wildflowers and library seed beds. Nancy planted clay peas and some marigolds in the C beds.

| 4-H Beds are under relocation and renovation |
Jessica is transforming the 4H garden, and it’s going to be great. We can plant and reposition any containers when that’s completed.

| Hanging out in the shade of the grape arbor |
The grapes are all gone – perhaps harvested by 2-legged critters. They were beautiful, though, and will be back next year.
Evelyn found a wood-handled 3-prong hand fork with faded orange lettering on it. It’s in the mailbox, which is full of lost items. Check it sometime and you might discover a tool you forgot you had!
Emma, I’m sorry to say I weed whacked the G-4 small irrigation hose by accident. That will need some repair.
Wasps! Laurie got stung after I left for the day. They think the wasp nest may be somewhere in the plants between the hose/sink and the raised beds – please be careful. Jessica reminded me that they have some first aid supplies for stings in the office if anyone ever needs it.
That’s all for now, folks.
