Wow!
Everyone's gardens look just fantastic.

Just a reminder, that although our weather has been cool, the soil in the beds will still dry out quite quickly. You'll want to continue to water your bed right up until harvest. This also goes for anyone who may have the task of taking care of any of the perennial trenches. ie raspberries, saskatoons, rhubarb.

I'd also like to thank Ibex Valley Greenhouses for their generous donation of flowers to the garden. We've planted and placed them throughout the beds and hopefully the frost will hold off long enough for us to enjoy them into the fall.

As well, thank you to those gardeners who have contributed so much volunteer time to the garden. It really does show!
Berries
The raspberries are ready to pick! Please help yourselves. We offer the berries on the outside of the trench to the public and reserve the ones on the inside for our gardeners. You'll also find strawberries in bed#9 and two large saskatoon trenches both inside and outside the fence. The saskatoons aren't 100% ready but it is great to see that we will have a nice crop this year.

DUGS Board Meeting
The DUGS monthly board meeting will be held at the garden on Thursday, August 14th, from 6:00-7:30 pm. Anyone and everyone are welcome to attend.
