General Notes

• In-ground plots tilled over - looks great
• Broken glass found - possibly a rain gauge or thermometer
• Discussed coming up with planting schedule and renting plots
• Thad stopped by to donate some wood to use as a trellis
• Discussed struggles with vineweed
• There is a lot of it, and it will be an uphill battle to remove it from the garden
• Team brought chicken and burgers to grill

Budget Plan:

$150 - Seeds and starts
$200 - Decorative and pollinator starts
$200 - Organic fertilizer and pest contro
$300 - New bed soil
$150 - signage
$75 - Nice exterior trash can
$300 - Hoop house repairs/improvements

Wishlist:

$800-1500 (**Later secured $1650 for hydrants**)

• The water spigot is not functional. It has continually been a weak point in garden operations.
• It would be ideal to install frost proof hydrants. A friend of Aaron’s might be willing to do this for free.

$800 - Materials to construct green houses. The garden obtained a great deal of glass with which to make greenhouses, but additional materials will be needed to make that plan a reality. We would plan to do this work as the regular growing season is coming to an end.
