FIRST-DAY-OF-PLANTING PARTY


Wednesday, June 3, 2009


starting at 7 p.m.


at the Iqaluit Greenhouse

Lots of people around to answer questions, seeds to plant and juice boxes to be had.

This work is done on all the plots to ensure a proper growing medium, and the more hands the better."

Hello, again, from Karen
Planting starts tonight at 7 p.m. Yay!

If you can't be here tonight, get the code from your plotmatesand you can all come and go as you please. (Just remember to lock the door behind you.)

Gary DeCasmaker from Eternal Seeds (an awesome Ontario greenhouse company which produces heirloom and organic seeds) will be around to kindly answer questions and give us advice on growing wonderful food.

I have listed the plot teams below. Unless you specified team mates, you were placed randomly on a team. Please let me know if you need contact information for your team mates or if one of your team mates has dropped out. Or if I am missing your name!

Also please note there may be some jostling of members around - we are at near total capacity right now, so if you are in a team of three you may have a fourth added tonight.

The list is based on all membership forms and/or expressions of interest in the last two days. The draw for plots was totally random, done by vice-chair Eric Corneau and I this morning. We are doing are best to ensure everything is fair and equitable, and that there is room for everyone who is interested.

Also wanted to thank everyone for helping out with the plant swap on Saturday. Treasurer Darlene Thomspson reports the swap raised over $200 for the greenhouse!

Alright, see everyone tonight.

Best,Karen

Non-Allergenic Cleaning Products You Can Make At Home

They're in your home, probably under your counter and you use them at least once a week. They're the ubiquitous cleaning materials you buy to keep your house spotless. But while they're cleaning up your mess are they also aggravating your allergies?

Some of the products contain chemicals which can leave those sensitive to their contents sniffling, sneezing, and crying from irritated eyes. But there's hope for people with that problem - and they likely don't have to go much farther than those same cupboards to find relief.
There are a host of natural and non-allergenic materials you can use to accomplish the same thing - and most of them will cost you a fraction of the store bought items.

Among them:
