Thank you so much to everyone that showed up to the work day on Saturday! It's the effort put in by the gardeners that keeps Elati Garden the beautiful space that it has become. For those who weren't able to make it, we look forward to seeing you at the May alternative work day on Sunday, May 20.</div>

As soon as the dump truck brimming with rich compost found its way to the garden, everyone dug in and made quick work of distributing it. The perimeter, herb gardens, and raised beds all got their share, along with everyone's plot who was interested.</div>

The beds on both sides of the fence need to be watered and weeded. The lawn inside the garden by the toolbox will be reseeded in May and will need regular watering throughout the summer. I will send an email to this committee when the garden is re-seeded and ask for watering help. It is crucial that the grass seeds stay wet for the first10 days after it is spread. Lastly, please check the garbage can every time you go to the garden. If it is half-full, empty it.

Our social networking sites can be used to post upcoming Elati Garden events, workday reminders, recipes, images, and link the community to the garden. For example, Deb will be posting recipes on the blog and then posting a link to the blog on facebook each time she adds a recipe. Make sure the signage is up and readable: front gate, back gate and compost. If the signs are damaged or fall down please fix them. It is important to maintain the gate signage because it educates the community about the garden and asks those who enter to be respectful by staying out of individual plots, not taking from the gardens (stealing) and encourages neighbors to enjoy produce from our donation baskets. This team also oversees the 3 compost signs that Lola made at the start of the season. On the bulletin board you can post a plot map, info on water conservation, upcoming classes and events and other information pertinent to the garden. This committee would be most productive if each person takes on one or two tasks from the list. If you are interested in blogging please email Shauna for log in info. </div><div class="MsoNormal" size="12pt"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" size="12pt">Shauna I.</div><div class="MsoNormal" size="12pt">Vanessa C.</div><div class="MsoNormal" size="12pt">Eric P.</div><div class="MsoNormal" size="12pt">Leigh Ann D.</div><div class="MsoNormal" size="12pt">Deb W.</div><div class="MsoNormal" size="12pt">Adam L.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 127, 0);"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />Vanessa is the Steering Committee contact for the following teams: </span></span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" size="12pt"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" size="12pt"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><div class="MsoNormal" size="12pt"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 127, 0);">~Weeding, Watering, Deadheading of Common Areas</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" size="12pt">This includes the pathways, entryways, and strips on the inside and outside of the east and west fences.

Because there are several people on this committee we encourage you to use the water meter in the toolbox to see if the beds need water. If it does need water please water thoroughly.

Animal manure, compost and coffee grinds are just some of the natural fertilizers that can be used. Natural pesticides such as a spray bottle filled 2/3 with water, 1/3 vegetable oil and Dr. Bronner’s soap and a teaspoon of cayenne pepper is only one natural pesticide recipe that will last all summer and keep hour plants bug free.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;">6) <span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);">Keep plants within borders</span> to encourage pedestrians to stay on the pathways and out of gardens. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;">7) <span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);">Respect other gardens</span> by only picking food and flowers from other gardens with permission from that gardener, staying out of gardens that are not yours and keep children on pathways. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;">8) <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 0);">Timely planting</span>.

One bottle lasts me a whole summer. After spraying plants with said repellent, spray plants with a little water to spread the bug juice.<br /><br />Good luck keeping the buggers away!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmboua_v1JJCk5M6B5uhmibx35VUVhfzBw8zn0CZrKHDpKmIIRYtIs9ORfFhlRmixGwpk9GHBM22XZY7hcwVLHDfa_LClM19YzkkGQWuRhBVzEiguCYSGrQI1t61OXBdQz1hbMmk9x1EU/s1600/DSC_2013.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmboua_v1JJCk5M6B5uhmibx35VUVhfzBw8zn0CZrKHDpKmIIRYtIs9ORfFhlRmixGwpk9GHBM22XZY7hcwVLHDfa_LClM19YzkkGQWuRhBVzEiguCYSGrQI1t61OXBdQz1hbMmk9x1EU/s320/DSC_2013.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479496425564717090" border="0" /></a>Elati Gardenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16645357525010891525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223945653858112727.post-63185393210283874622010-06-05T20:11:00.000-07:002010-06-05T20:16:07.997-07:00Introduce YourselvesPosted by Shauna Intelisano<br /><br />Gardeners it would be fun if you post some pics of you, your garden and a little introduction.<br /><br />Come 'on don't be shy....<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqC8ykEE3iDovMUoWR6GSrDZ9osAYIeHFpdy7k20UDn1LykP0lZz2VVRuwm4uPq3pAI8ig7BnHsS__cu9UwASGwleHyGgQ9Jg8IA4lq4Ooul7BpeS4FoUDZtNxgguH_qSRD3rZ5xhYPO4/s1600/DSC_2019.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqC8ykEE3iDovMUoWR6GSrDZ9osAYIeHFpdy7k20UDn1LykP0lZz2VVRuwm4uPq3pAI8ig7BnHsS__cu9UwASGwleHyGgQ9Jg8IA4lq4Ooul7BpeS4FoUDZtNxgguH_qSRD3rZ5xhYPO4/s320/DSC_2019.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479493633456287730" border="0" /></a>Elati Gardenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16645357525010891525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6223945653858112727.post-76327078084455891442010-06-05T19:49:00.000-07:002010-06-06T06:26:44.706-07:00Elati Gardens' First Friday Craft Fairs<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Posted by Shauna Intelisano<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">Mark your calendar for Elati Gardens' First Friday Craft Fairs!</span><br /><br />~First Friday of July the 2nd from 1-8pm<br />~First Friday of August the 6th from 1-8pm<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjItrJZoBwnHBDud3xQI3nQpnR75nxkE2cVWI_Pw8nLxedVHkkaqvQILbREGsmbD9FIK4SIqPsXg6_M10szae4jPagWKTdv2Wny_Jvv5CmZjxEBIvgykbdHCRHsjJ9nVcDc00QvHFuUd3c/s1600/DSC_2092.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 275px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjItrJZoBwnHBDud3xQI3nQpnR75nxkE2cVWI_Pw8nLxedVHkkaqvQILbREGsmbD9FIK4SIqPsXg6_M10szae4jPagWKTdv2Wny_Jvv5CmZjxEBIvgykbdHCRHsjJ9nVcDc00QvHFuUd3c/s400/DSC_2092.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479651389877310914" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:webdings;"><br />Vendors Include</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:webdings;">~Shauna Intelisano's photography with note cards and prints www.shaunaintelisano.com</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:webdings;">~Teresa Castaneda's recycled art flowers and face painting www.paintbru.sh</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:webdings;">~Bob contributing art work</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:webdings;">~Ayana Pedrick and Laura Kuennen with jewelry</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTw6rI5hZcSYLlbCEG3Y3oJ3_X4Q1abFOaEM9HzBGvnTa3xN9AQXtti-izSXtBElJXCTzhAtCCeIqGC7CgufIaPOAqCfCMoBMxvhrfzGnME7GV89fogzeSZ6mD0a-TAzjnKp12eaoHqFQ/s1600/DSC_2112.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTw6rI5hZcSYLlbCEG3Y3oJ3_X4Q1abFOaEM9HzBGvnTa3xN9AQXtti-izSXtBElJXCTzhAtCCeIqGC7CgufIaPOAqCfCMoBMxvhrfzGnME7GV89fogzeSZ6mD0a-TAzjnKp12eaoHqFQ/s400/DSC_2112.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479650339990373634" border="0" /></a><br />There is room for a few more vendors.
