Seems like summer but the rain reminds us we're still in May - still time to get your summer planting going, even if it's just an herb colander for your kitchen window.

 

Our May meeting was a great success, with a helpful (and worm-laden) talk on composting and vermiculture from Dan Bowden, Master Gardener.  And our plant exchange was successful. I came home with a couple of herbs and some seeds, and the tomatoes went fast. Thank you to everyone who participated.

 

As I think about how it is time to get my herbs planted for the year, I realized that the timing for our June field trip is perfect. On June 6 we will meet at the Morningsun Herb Farm in Vacaville at 10 am. After a tour of the facilities, we'll shop for fun and interesting additions to our gardens, and then have a catered lunch for the group.  The members voted to subsidize the lunches for our members, so make sure to RSVP to Debbie Zogaric if you'd like to attend.  Lunch will be a catered turkey sandwich from Diggers Deli called the Mini Mae or you can bring your own lunch.  Non-members would need to buy the lunch for $15 or they can bring their own lunch as well.  Sign up email coming out soon, or contact Debbie Zogaric at dzogaric@icloud.com

 

We look forward to our Greenstone Garden Tour in July 11th, since we won't meet on the 4th. That will include a potluck lunch, so look for an email with those details in a few weeks.

 

Thinking about going out and planting some more....see you soon!
