Phil was kind enough to give me his notes from the talk, so that in days forward I can try to type up some notes here for everyone. There was a lot to learn, so I want to remember as much as I can.
Some of the things he emphasized most were creating healthy, living soil (there are some free helpers you can involve -- and Phil had tricks for getting them into your beds); preventing and coping with weeds without using chemicals; how to build a cucumber tree; and how to feed your raised beds simply, organically and continuously.
After hearing from Phil, a few of us worked in the garden for a bit. With the hot, dry weather we're having, the garden needs your attention more frequently for watering. Please try to stop by two or three times a week to water if possible.
Also make sure to harvest your veggies when they're ready. I had to compost some baseball-bat sized zucchini last night because they'd grown too big to be good.
We'll come up with a July speaker for our next gathering, and I'll post info for that here. If you have suggestions for topics you'd like to hear about, please let me know.
Happy day!
