CleanUp Day is Sunday, 10/14

Cleanup day is October 14th, 11:00 AM - if you have a seasonal plot all structures and woody plants must be out of your plot by this date. Plants that need to be pulled up can be put in the weed pile for hauling away. This is in preparation for tilling in the spring. Also, please show up to help with cleanup if you can. We will be picking up stakes, clearing out any abandoned plots, etc. Not cleaning up your plot can affect whether or not you get a plot next year - we have to pay for any damage to the machinery that happens when the garden is tilled.
