loquats are getting ripe, you want them when they are slightly turning orange. i heard that someone was in the garden gathering them with a bucket, unlike most of our trees there are probably enough loquats to go around, though they don't keep well once picked so that's probably not the best idea.
remember we have a most excellent library in the toolshed for garden members. cookbooks for inspiration and gardening books for knowledge. use the whiteboard on the cabinet to sign out books.
with the late rain, weeding your plot and around your plot is going to be important for your enjoyment of the area.
i have a couple of volunteer tomatoes that sprouted next to my compost pile if anyone would like to get started early this season. my guess is they are a cherry variety. let me know if you'd like one.
we are anticipating one last soil delivery soon, hopefully next weekend.
we had good results with me assigning tasks via email over spring break, so this quarter there will be 2 ways to do your garden hours, Hanna is in the garden tuesdays & thursdays (i think), and she'll do some weekend workdays. If you'd rather work alone/on your own time send me an email.
last, we got a UCSB accessibility grant a while back and they finished up our new greenhouse door this week. so now anyone can roll into the greenhouse, and wheelbarrows, too!
