The plans for the dates for work days at the Kids Ranch are as follows. Clean up
and planning for the garden is Wed. at 5:30 or when you can get there on May 5,
with rain date the 6th.
Prep and transplanting the perennials will be May 19 with the rain date of the
20th. Same time as the others
Planting the garden will be on June 2nd with a rain date as the 3rd.
The Raspberries got trimmed out along with trimming the Pussy willow bush, on

Kids
Ranch Volunteers,
Yesterday I spoke with Anne Rakos and we tentatively set dates to which we will
be working out at the ranch getting the garden ready for the Kids arrival in
June.
At the present time we're looking at the weeks of May 3-8 for the initial
cleanup and planning as to what we will be doing. I think we have to move all
the perennials from the middle of the garden and plant them around the fence on
the inside. They are too overgrown and need transplanting, and the vegetables
need to be rotated. If anyone
has any ideas let me know. Then the week of the 17-22 we will prep the soil, get
the tilling done and transplant what we can. (Maybe we can get some ready for
the plant sale on the square.) The first week in June will be the planting week.
The day will be chosen later. If you have a day that works best let me know.
If you have access to newspapers please start saving them as we will need them
for mulch when we plant. I will try to get out there to pick pussywillows as
they are done blooming by the time the kids get there. I will also go out and
trim the raspberries when I do mine. Will send you another e-mail when it comes
closer to working time. If anyone wants to help start plants let me know.
