Seeds are planted in the Middle School Garden Posted by Brandon L on November 21, 2021, 8:27 am Peter is back and working hard in the Middle School Garden. After being neglected last year, things are quite overgrown and there is damage to the irrigation system and other structures. Nevertheless, he is committed to bringing the garden back. It will be a major project. He already sowed some lettuce seeds. Even if you do not like to garden, your help in small ways will make the task easier. Peter is looking for cardboard - without any plastic packing tape - so it can be used as mulch and weed barrier. You can find Peter in the garden most mornings between 9 and noon.

Re: Seeds are planted in the Middle School Garden Posted by Lynne on November 21, 2021, 9:54 am, in reply to "Seeds are planted in the Middle School Garden" How about giving directions in layman's terms so that newcomers, who are not sailors, can find the garden? Thanks for helping Peter!

Map for the Middle School Garden Posted by Brandon L on November 22, 2021, 7:41 am, in reply to "Re: Seeds are planted in the Middle School Garden" darn, my previous attempt to link to a map failed. One can arrive at the school garden by turning north off of the main road (Av. Lazaro Cardenas) between the highway and the beach. This side road is not marked but labeled on some maps as Calle Mariposa.  Coming from the beach you will see a small sign on a power pole for FRESCO el restaurante.  Calle Mariposa also connects with Plaza de Toros or the rodeo grounds. Entrance to the school garden is at north end of Calle Mariposa. If your sextant and time piece are not working, you can copy and paste the latitude and longitude numbers into Google Maps to pin a destination. (19.2893333, -104.7851667) Or copy & paste this link: https://goo.gl/maps/RVP6W2zDCoTi4KUB9 Hope this map helps.

It all has been used. Much more is welcome. Anyone willing to separate and pile up wet or dirty cardboard at the recycling lot across from the Elementary School? If it is separated (from other garbage like plastic bags) La Huerta workers are willing to haul it to the garden in their truck. Saves them a trip to the dump.

Re: Seeds are planted in the Middle School Garden Posted by dana on December 31, 2021, 7:13 am, in reply to "Seeds are planted in the Middle School Garden" Does anyone have another way of contacting those working at the community garden. I've tried the ways provided and came up empty.
