[Garden] Garden meeting?

[Emily Henkemans]

I've been lurking on this list for a long time but I am going to try to make
this meeting and participate in the gardening this year.  I have a dodgeball
game until 7:30 but I will hurry to the WPIRG office after and will
hopefully make at least part of the meeting.

I am iffy (and don't know the degree to which I will be gardening
this year), but would encourage you to not reschedule on my behalf.

I vote that we get stuff for a new fence.

I am willing to contribute $200 for supplies (including a fence,
compost, rototiller rental, etc.) I hope this will reduce the amount
of energy people spend agonizing over whether to buy stuff.

Here are a couple of other things to talk about (not that I should be
opening my big yapper if I am not able to make the meeting):

- When to hold the planting party (if we are having one). If we
 advertise (via facebook/mailing list/posters) then this might be a
 good way to get fresh meat for the garden (or, if you are
 vegetarian, fresh tofu).

- Choosing some victims to do administrative-y stuff. I propose that
 selecting two such victims to organize each project (e.g. two people
 to follow the fence, two people to organize compost runs) might work
 better than any number fewer or greater than two.

- Deciding when gardening days/times are going to be, and picking
 (two?) Wal-martesque greeters to open the garden punctually with their
 presence. These greeters can help ensure that fresh meats do not
 show up, find nobody there and leave again.

- Finding foster parents for the seedlings we grow. Unfortunately, I
 do not have enough light to offer this service. I hope not everybody
 lives in dank basement apartments. Maybe I can be a foster parent
 for mushrooms.

Them's my thoughts.

- Paul
