Summer has Arrived !!!

Greetings Bloggers,

     Summer has arrived, despite some liquid sunshine, it is pretty official when the bird broods are getting out and about, the pollinators are around (bees, butterflies, etcetera) and the 'orchestra' of lawnmowers are heard (usually) on weekends.

     Upgrade of the area along Stickle Rd., Area "B".  Native plants to be introduced as they are more eye-appealing landscape.  Drip irrigation is to be installed.  Completion to be done this summer.  We are looking forward to see the completed work.

     The association is discussing a potential 'seed swap', possibly held at the BX Ranch Park.  This is only in a brainstorming phase currently.  However, if people that have grown their own plants and leave approximately 10% for seed, everyone with seeds could participate.  We request if this transpires that people bring seeds they have actually grown, not 'cheat'.  More information will appear here once discussion and some direction has been decided.  Comments and suggestions are welcome on this idea.

     After our next Directors' meeting, we will have information pertaining to our next year's Annual General Meeting venue.  Over the last couple years, the venue had changed which may have been confusing to our membership.  We will be more definitive in the near future.

     Thanks to all the readers of this blog.  Please feel free to express your points of view in the comment section.  Suggestions are accepted as well, also please share the blog with anyone that is interested.

Until next time...

May et al

Hello Bloggers,

Just a quick one here to keep in touch.  May has brought all the ususal outside work that we all know and love, when not enjoying the 'liquid sunshine.'  Frost may appear this evening of the 10th, so cover up (any and all young sprouted plants.)  The various trees and plants blooming, always creates a beautiful, picturesque display.  Not to mention the fragrances that accompany them as well.  Kudos to all the new interested gardeners, local vendors will assist with what information they have at your request.

With the change in the season, summer sports (soccer, cycling, etcetera) have now commenced.  Good luck to all participants (of all ages and levels) in atheletic activities.  Group sports or individual sports helps keep you moving. (Of course, this is when your not gardening. Tee Hee)

We are planning to do two blogs per month (even more, but we shall see.)  As to encourage comments and/or responses.  If anyone has subjects not covered in the blogs, feel free to post in the comment section.  Will post more when more is known.

That all for now.
