Our next club meeting will be on Thursday, 7 June in the Kiva Room under the Clock Tower at the Mesa Community College, Southern and Dobson. This will be our last meeting of the Spring. We will be discussing and planning our big fall garden tour. Everyone is welcome.

Remember: Summer gardens need shade and bird netting. Plan ahead for your raised beds and square foot beds for fall gardens. Don’t overwater your plants. If you cannot tell when they need water, use a probe or a moisture meter to check BEFORE you water. Let your plants dry out between watering.
