We’re Growing UP!

Urban Patchwork Mulch Party 2K10

Saturday, August 21 8am

5608 Joe Sayers, 78757

Everyone’s favorite urban, neighborhood CSA is expanding!  CSA = COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE, which consequently, is impossible without said community support.  So come on out Saturday morning & help Paige, Keith, Michelle, & cohorts plant potatoes & prep FOUR NEW farm sites!

Have you been toying around with the idea of creating a garden in your yard, but you can’t quite figure out HOW?  This is a great opportunity to learn from some hard-working young farmers who have done just that.  Curious about the dreaded Colorado potato beetle?  (Which, contrary to its title, will eat the leaves of your beloved nightshades no matter where you live.)  Steve Martinez is our resident “BugMan” & can answer your questions.

Will it be hard work?  YES!  Will you hang out with some incredibly knowledgeable, fun-loving folks?  YES!  Will there be a reward?  YES!  (Read on, dear volunteer.)  The hard work should be finished well before noon, then we get to EAT!

VOLUNTEER INFO:

All volunteers meet at 8am at 5608 Joe Sayers.  Groups will then split up–with some staying at the main UP site to plant potatoes & others heading around to FOUR NEW residences for farm prep.

BYO water bottle, coolers & ice will be provided.  BYO snacks for throughout the morning.

Coffee provided (we’re still working on this, but cross your fingers!).

BBQ provided later in the afternoon!!!  Be sure to stick around for some finger-lickin’ good, smokin’ grub!
