The on-campus component of our Car Free Day Festival will be happening on September 19th from 11-2 and he wanted to extend an invitation to our action groups to set up tables on the day to get some exposure for the work you all are doing. This is also an excellent opportunity to get some new members as the festival is always well attended. The festival will include a bike auction, corn roast and bike repair workshops (among other fun stuff!) and is sure to be a good time. You can check out the full line up of events for Car Free Days 2008 here: www.wpirg.org/carfree The display boards and materials for action groups are in the office and I can offer some assistance in getting your group set up. I've cced Dan on this email so get in touch if you have any questions about the tabling opportunity or the festival.

If transportation of the item is a problem I have a volunteer with a truck who could help. If you need help with this give me a call and I can walk you through the steps. * There is also a Yahoo Group Freecycle. You have to sign up to be a member with Yahoo email account but you will have access to a variety of free items that may be of use to your garden.

Check us Out on the Web * Check out our new Waterloo Region Community Gardeners Facebook Group.

To participate by posting pictures, questions or comments you can join Facebook, by clicking the 'Sign Up' button on the left. Then fill in the minimum information necessary to set up an account. Please be aware of all rules and regulations pertaining to Facebook use in your organization. Some offices specifically ban the viewing of blogs during work hours. * You can also visit our new Google Groups page at: http://groups.google.ca/group/community-garden-council-of-waterloo-region?hl =en. This site is still under construction but you will be able to become a member and use this as a means of connecting with other garden coordinators, sharing local gardening tips and events, and finding resources in the community. Volunteers * I will be going to several volunteer fairs in the community and will be promoting many different ways of assisting community gardens. If you need help with fall clean up, building a new project, or organizing an event these are just some of the ways volunteers could be used. If you have any volunteer needs please let me know as soon as possible. * Regal Acres Community Garden is in need of a saw and rototiller and volunteer to help clean up their garden this fall. If any of you have either of these and could help they would appreciated it. If so, let me know and I will provide you their contact. Gardening Tip * Although powdery mildews are for the most part specific to the species of plants, here's a formula to try. The Cornell Formula. . In one gallon of water, mix and repeatedly shake: . 1 tablespoon baking soda . 2 drops dishwashing liquid or insecticidal soap . 1 tablespoon oil. You can use vegetable oil, but 'horticultural oil' will work better, especially one of the new lighter-weight "summer oils". (Cowboy Gardeners: Do NOT use motor oil or WD-40 or any other such foolish thing.) I'm working to provide as much relevant information to everyone as possible in a concise and easy to read format. I once again encourage you to pass this along to everyone at your garden. If you have any comments or suggestions about this email feedback is welcome. Happy Gardening!

Basically, Trash 2 Treasure is a goods recycling program designed to reduce waste and to save students money.

So, if you're interested in getting new furniture, electronics, small appliances, or school supplies, come check us out between 10:30 am and 3 pm on Saturday or Sunday at the SLC. If you're really keen on getting the best items in the sale, check out our website to find out how to get an Early Bird Pass. You can also contact us through the website, so check it out!

I thought since you were very interested in donating food to charity you might be interested doing a harvest on Friday and passing it along to Patti to take to their serving on Saturday morning. Maybe others would be interested in helping with this?? I was thinking some of the leeks, tomatoes, herbs, and maybe a few peppers and squash would be very useful for them.

I was just going by what the group decided in the past. We talked about this at one of our meetings and it was listed as a priority for the garden. Maybe if they take a few leeks, tomatoes and herbs and call it good it will appease everyone?? Anyway, with that said if everyone would rather keep the produce then we should make a decision right away since the garden season is coming to an end.

One of our tenants that we came up with is community involvement. We always end up having some form of foodstuff that is extreme in quantity for the number of people that show up (this year, tomatoes, squash and leeks are the fore-runners), so why not give it away? If we don't, the food will just decompose anyway (great for soil and volunteer planting, but not really productive use of our space).

Interestingly, if you look up sun spot activity, our current cool coincides with the end of the eleven year solar cycle.

I'll forward the news to the council and we should get a cheque, eventually. Since we're not an entity I propose that we have the cheque made out to WPIRG, and then they can cash the cheque and hold the money for us. This would mean that the re-fund is handled similarly to the way we already handle money from the Farmer's Market. So, what's the consensus on this plan?

I would say we can give up a fair number of leeks, but it would be nice if we kept some for ourselves (maybe one of the two beds?) As we learned last year we can eat them in the spring. Having said that I have no big problems with giving away leeks if FnB can put them to delicious use. Other things to take might be some of those delicious football-shaped cherry tomatoes, some of the green beans, and even nasturtium leaves and flowers if FnB wants to make an "adventure salad". Not to put words in the garden consensus mouth, but I suspect FnB is also welcome to all the herbs they can carry, and any groundhogs they happen to come across. Weren't there a few beds of spanish onions that we planted? They must still be there. Some of them could probably be picked and used. Personally I think that the sales at the UW farm market have been less satisfying than giving food to FnB, but I guess there is no reason we can't do both. - Paul __________________________________________________________________ Get a sneak peak at messages with a handy reading pane with All new Yahoo!
