Weeding after the rain

If you have not been over to weed your garden, this is the time to do it. After the heavy rains this past week, ALL of the gardens have plenty of weeds! Several members where here this morning weeding.

Don't forget to pull any weeds in the pathway around your plot. The leaves were put down as mulch to help control the weeds, but there are still weeds that will pop-up through the mulch.

Another reminder: Please, please do not adjust the hole size in the watering tubes. The holes are about the size of a hypodermic needle point, and are designed specifically to "soak" the ground where the plant roots are growing.
Spraying the plant with water does nothing to water the roots, and a good percentage of the water is wasted by evaporation.
All the tubes were tested before the planting, and were functioning correctly. You will not see water flowing out of the tube, only the ground will look darker once watered by the soaking.

To turn off your water, use the red spigot handle at one end of the main water pipe. Just don't forget to turn it back on if there is no rain!
