President’s Message November 2024

 Well if the calendar wasn’t telling us that we were in November, the change in weather and the arrival of the dreaded daylight savings time told us. I did manage to get some of my last gardening related projects finished – I harvested my carrots which for the entire summer were pretty much ignored under a remay cover they shared with my basil – thus the remay cover. It’s amazing that even without being thinned (and I am in no way condoning that type of behavior), the carrots still produced a great harvest. Wonder how good it’d have been if I actually tended it… next year. 

My second chore – and it is a chore – is cleaning of the pots. I always say I will clean them as I empty them of their seedlings, but it never happens. So they stack up and then around this time I sequester myself in the laundry room, stand my iPad on the washer and find a Brit Box show so it’s not a total waste of time. But come January or February when I start my seeds, I’ll be glad I got that job done. 

This month we will have our annual business meeting and while it may not be nearly as much fun as last month’s Fall Decorating activity (oh my gosh, we have some amazingly creative members), as anyone who has been in a club knows, an annual meeting is a necessity. We will vote on the 2025 budget and vote in our new board members. I will also put out the sheet listing all the committees with the opportunities for you to sign up to work. These are also found here in the newsletter so keep reading.
