Winter in the Garden

Hello all!

Just wanted to share a few pictures of winter in the garden. After all of the recent rain, our soil is completely saturated and most of the plants seem to be doing well.

One of our gardeners has a papaya tree is loaded with fruit and everyone's lettuce is growing well.

Please remember our next meeting is the second Saturday of the month at 10am. See you there!


Lettuce



Papaya

This Brandywine tomato that was grown at the Crenshaw Community Garden weighed more than 3lbs! The gardener who nurtured it said "it was the sweetest and juiciest tomato I had ever tasted in my life. It was more like a fruit. It is sweeter than those grape cherry tomatoes. I thought my Cherokee Purple was already sweet but this 3 pounder surpasssed them."

Tree Pruning Seminar

.
Solano Canyon CG will again host the Annual Tree Pruning seminar with Don Hodell of UCCE of Los Angeles. It will be the 4th Saturday of this month, January, 8am to approx 1pm. Reservations are required and there is a limited (24) number of spaces available. If you are interested, please leave a comment here and I will send you information on how to register.

Meeting Recap

Sorry we missed you at the last meeting of the Crenshaw Community Garden!

The next meeting is on January 10th at 10am. This meeting is mandatory if you want to continue gardening in 2009.

The January meeting will begin with the election of new officers. We will be distributing new plots (there seem to be about four) and collecting contracts and dues from gardeners.

All gardeners must come with their signed contract, a $35 check made out to The Crenshaw Community Garden and $5 cash for new keys.

The 2009 contract includes info on our new policies on structures (no structure may be taller than 4 feet.) and meeting attendance (all gardeners must attend at least 6 meetings in a calendar year.)

Thank you all and I look forward to seeing you then!
