These should be raked to loosen the matted grass and allow sun and air to dry them out. If there are any low spots in the lawn or garden that drain so slowly that damâ€" aged has been caused in the past, syphon the water out with a hose. Fill the hose with water from the tap and block both with the thumbs. Put one end in the pool under the water. Lay the hose on downâ€"sloping ground and release the end. If the level difference is too low a narrow shallow drainage ditch should do the trick.

The ‘Master Gardeners for the area will be at the plot site, just north of the railway tracks off Ford Drive, to supply advice on growing vegetables. Foodshare will accept contributions during their operatâ€" ing hours: Mondays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Tuesdays 2 to 5 p.m., and Thursdays 3 to 7 p.m. They are at 1240 Speers Rd., Unit #6, between the Fourth and Third Lines. If neighborâ€" hood groups could consolidate deliverâ€" ies, this would make it easier.‘ Growing vegetaâ€" bles for Foodshare would make a differâ€" ence to many people and the gift of of our effort is much more meaningful to the donor than purchasâ€" ing. Crops of beets, parsnips, fall squash, cabbage, carrots, mature at the same time soâ€" would require one trip to Foodshare. Summer squash, tomatoes, beans and peas would require two or three trips but all would be equally appreciated. This should be the first year that no crops in Oakville will rot on the vine. IF you are going to be away, ask your neighbor to harvest and take your crop to the Foodshare or phone me at 845â€"8380 or Foodshare at 847â€" 3988 during their working hours. Potatoes Gardeners usually grow the same potato varieties year after year. Some chance takers have tried Yukon Gold but there are many other varieties â€" readily available.
