Title: Gardening, Permaculture, Seed Saving
Post by: Shortaxe on May 06, 2015, 09:14:21 AM
This is the May Event/Meeting
We WILL be building planter boxes onsite. We will have all materials and tools so just bring some gloves.
On the agenda is a talk and demonstration on seed starting and saving.
Also a talk about growing in small places.
We will talk about some of the basics and tour our hoophouses and garden area.
Oh yea, chickens are always a topic.
I will talk a little about Permaculture and how it can affect the how, what and why we do things on a property.
This meeting will be at our Homestead in North Reno.
Please bring a chair, hat and lunch. We will break from presentation to planters after lunch.
We will be sending the address and directions when we get the signups to each person and not posting on the calendar.
I would appreciate it if you keep that to yourselves.

I have removed the planter boxes for the moment, may come back when we confirm materials.
Also, this will be at our Homestead in North Reno, location available later.

For the planter boxes, you'll get a chance to work with power tools and learn to build them yourselves. We did this build event a couple of years ago and it was a lot of fun. If you've never worked with power tools or if it's been a while then you'll want to get you hands dirty with this one. Please make sure to bring some work gloves though.

I have to be in Placerville over the weekend or I'd be there.
Thanks to all who put forth the effort to make this a great resource for our prepper community.

Unfortunately, we will have to reschedule due to weather.
We have received over 1.5" of rain here in the past three days and more is coming.
It's just to wet to do the planters or really enjoy the day.

So the new date is June 13th and I will post that up. This will be deleted on Saturday from the calendar.

Sorry for the news but hey, I'm just the messenger.
