I got my tomatoes and peppers down so I’m super happy! Next onions and herbs.
That being said, I started 4 sweet potato vine plants in the hopes of training them to go around the poles on the patio thingy. If anyone has questions or etc, please let me know.
Ursa also donated a doggy water bowl to the garden space. An outdoor dog bed or two may appear as well, Ursa is a pampered baby angel and needs a place to lounge. Same as above for any questions.
I have some extra dried chicken poop if someone needs fertilizer.
Does anyone know if there’s a watering schedule? If not I can make one.
I was able to finally take a look at this. So the idea is that we sign up for assigned shifts? I like that, just a little hard to understand the format. Also, I don’t think anyone would really sign up for a harvest shift. I think a weeding shift would be more useful.
LOL. Yes, I meant shift. And that makes sense when you say combining watering and harvesting. Perhaps we can just combine them all and call it a garden caretaker’s shift. Generally, I want a volunteer at the garden every day to make the rounds and water, harvest and pull weeds as necessary from the raised communal beds. I think we have enough volunteers to easily make that a reality.
As for hard to understand, I just meant clarification on the bottom portion. Maybe you could add an example entry or sign up for to me see what it would look like.
Lol, I dunno all the garden slang, maybe it had to do with the manure.
But the original goal is to have one person responsible for the garden per week, this will hopefully help us avoid it over doing or losing track of what needs done vs has been done.
Special task is where things like weeding would hypothetically go.
I did include two test entries, recognizable by older dates
you could do a dry erase sheet or board with a daily checklist. That you sign and date that way the next volunteer knows what has been done and the last date.
1-2 times M-F and then weekends is what I could manage. For me it would just be simpler to visit one day a week on my day off. But that’s related to travel distance and my work schedule. If it doesn’t fit with everyone else that’s fine. I just didn’t want you to think I was ignoring your plan.
Yes, I think defined days within a week for each volunteer would be best. Like a shift schedule at a restaurant. For example, I’m happy to go Mondays and Wednesdays. Sundays are naturally covered because of our standing meeting.
Instead of times listed, you could very briefly describe what you plan to do. You could then change it to a certain color when you’ve completed your shift? Just throwing out ideas.
