Facebook Page

A Facebook page has been created for the garden for those who tend to check their Facebook more often than others. "Like" the Arcadia Community Garden page at the bottom right of the screen and tell others to join too! Spread the word! The goal right now is to get at least 100 "likes".

Also, it looks like there won't be any need to water this week :) plenty of rain this week after that horrible heat wave, whew!

Stay dry out there!

Visit to the Garden

Hi everyone!

I stopped by the garden today, after being out of town for 5 weeks.  It looks so wonderful!  There are cucumbers and yellow squash just about ready to pick, basil plants tucked around everywhere, pepper plants, orange pumpkins, rows of at least 3 kinds of plants, etc.  The squash vines are traveling everywhere.  The bean plants are doing well too, though it looks like the bean pods have either been picked or dried out.  There are several perfect looking cantaloupes too... except that something's chewed them open.  The wasps seemed to be enjoying one of them.

It reminded me of a book I read as a kid... A Garden for a Groundhog by Lorna Balian... a great book for any gardener.

Overall it looks very well weeded, watered, etc.  Keep up the good work everyone!
