Hey there trading folks. I'm looking forward to the swap meet at my house here on Elm Street, next Tuesday the 16th! Hope that you can make it, and we can have nice June swapping. If you drive here (it's about a 10 minute walk from Greenstar), it would be best to park in the upper-most lot of the West Village Apartments, then walk up through our woodsy backyard. Ask my if you need more specific direction than that. We'll try to spend our time outside here.<br>
<br>Below is the email I just sent out to the Dancing Turtle gardening friends list, if you're interested. See lots of you soon, I hope!<br><br>Travis<br>315-794-8072<br><br><br>Hi friends,<br><span class="gI"><span class="ik"><br>
</span></span>Lots of excitement from the Dancing Turtle Vegetable Garden - we've
been harvesting spinach, salad mixes, and braising mixes, along with
some herbs, collards, and radishes for market. And there may soon be
enough peas to bring along, too! The sprouts are being well-received,
and as of tomorrow we can sell fresh and dried tea! In less good news,
there are two very cute furry friends who spent a couple days in the
garden and helped themselves to over 100 heads of tender lettuce :-(
But we found the hole (dug by either groundhog or rabbit, and used by
both), and peace has returned, for now.<br>
<br>We've planted most of the Bruce Hill Road "farm" location, in the
gardens, but there are two swaths of freshly-plowed land that we'll be
getting beans, squash, sunflowers, oats, corn, and herbs into. The
mulberries are just days away from being delicious and harvestable.<br>
<br>So here's what's going on - Wednesday looks like it should be a
delightful day, weather-wise. but Thursday, with a 40% chance of rain,
is when my dad is coming to help out. and saturday is going to be a
fun harvesting morning, with at least three folks out there. If you
can come out on any of these days, drop a line. there is now enough
produce to offer some to helpers, and better yet, there are tons of
greenhouse starts that will certainly need homes, even if all the beds
get planted.<br>
<br>Happy rains, waning moon, and warm evenings :-)<br><font color="#888888">Travis</font><br>
