Harvest Food Drive - Saturday, July 31

Dear Community Gardeners,
One of our programs for the past few years has been the HARVEST FOOD DRIVE, when we distribute fresh produce to help people served by local human service agencies.. This year the drive will be on SATURDAY, JULY 31. We ask that people come to the Community Garden between 9 and 11:30 with fresh produce to donate. Donations can be from the Community Garden plots as well as from those who have home gardens. Please tell your friends and neighbots who might have fresh produce to donate from their garden. It is much appreciated by the recipients. In the past we have given to the Hebron Food Pantry, Family Resource Shelter, Food 'N Friends soup kitchen, and group homes. Hope to see you on July 31.
David Hill, Community Garden Coordinator, 508-222-1298
P.S. By the way, there are some great looking garden plots this year! David

Organic?

Hi there,

I am wondering if the AACG is organic only? Are the plots that are on the waiting list only at the location that is behind the library on the way to Mechanic Street on the left? (Sorry, new resident here, do not know the area very well!). Any answers would be great. Happy to be a part of this "blossoming" online community.

Contaminated soil......

.......is there an answer yet? I don't believe all the garden plots were under the water in the recent flooding, but I thought the soil was going to be tested for heavy metals (from the Ten-Mile) and anything undesirable left over from the sewerage that was mixed in with the water. Does anyone know the outcome of the tests?

contaminated soil?

I received an email from David some time ago about possible contamination due to the river overflowing. I'm concerned if it's ok to plant veggies due to this email. does anyone have further info on this. I feel the season is getting on and I'm already later than I want.

Thanks,

Sharon

Garden Notes, Updated

CORRECTION: Contrary to an earlier post,the water has NOT been turned on yet, because a leak needs to be repaired first. Hopefully, the leak will be repaired on Tuesday, April 27.

There is new pile of compost at one end of the garden and old piles of topsoil at both ends. A wheelbarrow is available. It is locked to the garden sign. Ask David for the combination and please lock it again when you are finished. Please review the gardener's contract. You should have received a copy when signing up,… Continue

Hi Jess, Yes, to both your questions. You can download the contract, which states that no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, or chemically-treated lumber may be used. There is only one location. Welcome to the web site. Charlie

Thanks. We'll undoubtedly go ahead and plant this week anyway, but it would be good to put the idea of contamination to rest! I'll wait patiently for 'the word'!

I was at the garden last week when the company was taking samples for the testing and it seems that they have to send them to URI for testing. The man didn't say exactly when to expect results.
