Ernie's Garden

Ernie's Garden We are a community garden for all, founded in honor of our late neighbor, Ernie Egloff. You are invited to come share time "playing in the dirt among friends"!

A Community of friends, neighbors, strangers all working together to produce A healthy harvest of fresh, locally grown, veggis for their families. This garden was started in memory of Ernie Egloff. He was our neighbor, friend and adopted family. He and his wife Mary have been our family for 13 years. Ernie never met a stranger! Year after year Ernie had a beautiful garden, he was also very proud o

f his large thornless blackberry crops and was always eager to share his knowledge and his harvest. My family loved spending time with Ernie and still very much enjoy time spent with Mary! Ernie left us in January of 2011, after being in poor health for some time. I felt that Ernie would be honored best by continuing his garden. This also happens to be where his family has grown crops to sustain their family since the late 1800's.

Thank you to The Sutherland family for making much needed progress in the garden last night!! They pulled weeds so thick that when I tried to attack them...they made me cry! Lol sooo, if you are able to make it to the garden, you will be able to see the radishes, bean blossoms, cucumbers and squash!! Now we need to tackle the weeds surrounding the tomatoes! A gold star goes to Vangie Sutherland, Bill Sutherland, Macy Grace Sutherland, Hannah and Maddy White!! Thank you!

Ok worker bee's...The garden is in and doing well, thanks to Mother Nature and all of the rain, and sunshine we are getting!! All of the seeds have sprouted up and are moving skyward, The plants are doing ok, we may need some plant food soon. I know the Wallace's are working on getting some straw/hay to control the moisture level of the ground. In about a week we can get together again to plant the rest of the beans, we are in need of a few more bell pepper plants still.
How does everyone feel about all of us meeting every Sunday for garden time (pulling weeds, treating for pest's etc) If we work together, the work will be much easier...message me with your ideas, remember this is our garden, so everyone's opinion counts!
Also, I thought it would be fun to buy some lady bugs and preying mantis' for pest control, we could let the kids set them free once we get them...
Hope to see you soon! :-)
