Fall Work Party - a small but dedicated crew

The October 4th work party was very successful, despite the dismal lack of attendance - 13 members out of the 46 total membership attended.

We had a lovely morning chopping up the big pile of plant material at the back of the garden to feed to the compost... bundling up refuse for the city to collect... cleaning and oiling the common tools... and of course the perennial weeding... all the while, a gentle fall breeze keeping us company.



Four things to do before Sunday evening:

1. Check out the David Hunter 55th anniversary sale - I got a wicked pair of Felco #2's for 50% off. What a deal.

2. Go back and admire the absence of the green pile at the back of the garden :)

3. Plant more bulbs. Thx to whoever left the 'Deirdre' tulip bulbs in gardenflower's garden. I always wanted a flower named after me!

4. Divide and transplant... plant garlic.

Dahlias dahling...

What's not to love about our fall dahlias?







Compost anyone?

Diane admires Stuart's handiwork.

Rumour has it that the lids will have a weighted hinge. Cool.

Thanks to Alison for submitting these fall images.

Welcome to our Blog

Is this weather great or what? Hope everyone is enjoying our lovely September... reaping the fall bounty... and wondering what films they will see in the upcoming Vancouver Film Festival.

I thought it might be fun to experiment with creating a blog for our community garden. I haven't done a blog before so please be patient - I'm still experimenting. I hope to make the time in between working, gardening, knitting, running and playing with my dog 'Bicky' to tart up the blog and have it ready for the 2009 season. Your feedback, suggestions and contributions would be well received.

I think a blog is a great way for garden members to communicate, share tips and tricks, and of course publish all our yummy garden photos. I would be happy to keep it updated.

Let me know what you think! Warm regards, gardenflower.
