Garden Summer Care Instructions
Thanks for helping!
Here are the instructions for taking care of the garden. If all else fails call me at 619-3772 or delanders@pulaskischools.org
Equipment Location
-All the Equipment is located in the black and Yellow Rubbermaid
Step #1- Watering
-Check to see if the Garden needs watered, use your judgement
-Use the watering can and the water from the rain barrel first
-Hook up hose and either use the hand sprinkler or the other sprinkler that you can set up and rotate every 15 minutes
Step #2 Weed the garden
Raised Beds:
-Use the buckets and yellow hand weeders to weed the garden. Grass has been put down to keep moisture in and hold weeds down.Native Plants/Butterfly garden:
-You should be able to tell if it is a weed or good plant, if unsure leave it be. I tried putting white markers by them but they have been overgrown
-Dump weeds in the woods out beyond the soccer fields
-Milkweed is NOT to be pulled (see picture below), it attracts butterflies
Weed
These are milkweed and bulbs, DO NOT PULL THEM!
Tie up the pepper and tomato plants for support
#3 Harvest/General maintenance...
-If Vegetables need harvested then either eat them on the spot, take them to the pantry (contact Deb Schneider at PACE office), or e-mail Caitlin Matthiesen our school foods coordinator to drop them off at the high school
-Tie up tomatoes and peppers to green stakes for support using the green tie-ups located in the rubbermaid
