Sleet moves the first garden meeting to Saturday, April 23 at 3:00pm

Typical April weather in the valley encouraged rescheduling of the season's first work meeting to Saturday, April 23 at 3:00pm. A few hardy gardeners braved the sleet and cold rain to check the plots and survey the effects of the mountain winter. A number of bright green (and fresh-frozen) brussel sprouts were spotted as well as some early green shoots here and there.

There was a short meeting in the grange to discuss the coming season and preview some of the developments to come. Alex Brock opened with an update of the discussion of the stream buffer project scheduled for SATURDAY MAY 21, 10 am - 4pm. 

Oleg Demssevitch and Willy Baer discuss the location of the stream buffer plantings.

Hope for better weather on Saturday and bring your work gloves and tools!

We'll see at 3:00!
