Hello everyone,

Thanks to all for parking in such  a beautiful garden this summer.  As Patrick, Zahra and I will be moving to uptown Waterloo this weekend we will no longer be next-door to the garden and thus won't be participating as much.

So enjoy your fall harvest and thanks for making it such a lovely space!

Zainab

Hello everyone, if the garden is looking to buy a dehydrator, they sell them
at the St. Jacob's farmer's market indoors at the kitchen utensil shop thing
in the main building (ie. the one with 2 floors). They run about 100$. Also,
I have a dehydrator from there that the garden could use.

It is unlikely that I will be going to the garden for the next two
Thursdays. If others are going then please let the group know. 

Weather permitting, I am planning to be by on Sunday afternoon, but I
am not even going to try and suggest a time. Every time I suggest a
time I come in late only to discover that everybody else has come and
left without me.

Mari,
           Drive up Westmount Rd from University, going towards 
Columbia. Go past Columbia, look to your right, you'll see a small dirt 
road after a hundred meters or so. The garden is at the end of the dirt 
road. I aim to be there from six thirty to seven thirty.

Hi, all:
If anyone is going to the garden today (Thursday), can I request that
you finish staking the tomatoes? Angela, Candace and I got a good
chunk done but it would be great to get the rest off the ground before
the mice (or whatever) starts eating them all. You may have to hunt
around for good stakes (there are some in a pile in the garden) and
there's green binder twine in the shed.

Cheers,
Maddy
