Thanks to all of you who have helped out thus far, and a special thanks to Lori Miller for risking the shocks on her truck when delivering a full load of compost to the garden. Collectively we have put in over 100 hours tilling, planting, fence-building, and so much more to make this garden a reality. Things will quiet down a bit with the planting mostly completed. Always, there will be weeds. So, feel free ANYTIME to grab a weeder from the foot locker (little storage bin) and chip away at them.
By July some of the veggies will be ready for harvest. We’ll be harvesting on Tuesdays so we can get fresh produce to The Lussier Center for their Wednesday pantry. Details to come about additional harvesting/delivery later in the week.
Upcoming events….
Sunday, June 14th: Dedication of the ORUCC Vegetable Village at the end of the worship service.
Tuesday, June 23rd: ORUCC bonfire – 8:30pm.
GARDENER’s POTLUCK & ORUCC BONFIRE ~ JUNE 23RD….
All pantry plot volunteers and individual gardeners and their families are invited to share food and fellowship on Tuesday, June 23rd at 7pm at church. As our spring work comes to a close and the ORUCC garden appears to be well on its way, its time to imbibe in some good food and getting to know each other. Come early to play/work in the garden (6pm) and bring a dish to share at the potluck to follow. Local foods are encouraged with many fruits & veggies coming into season and available at the Farmer’s Market. Beverages will be provided. Dessert (smores) is promised to those who stay for the ORUCC bonfire to start around dusk out near the garden.
