We’ve all been concerned at the “broken irrigation” situation in the garden. Today, we were FINALLY able to amend, replace and hopefully corrected the mistake.

Thanks to Mr. Uhren’s class for helping empty out the raised beds after several rains, a farm in Ramona for donating amendment and the Parker family for donating marigolds and zinnias to replant. Together we can maintain the beauty of this space.

Want to help? Reach out to La Mesa Dale PTA to ask how.

Do you have a scientist? Ask them what a pollinator is. Please listen to why WE (humans) can also be considered pollinators.

Compost! Our 1st graders helped chop up some pumpkins to add to our compost this week. In a few months this pile will be ready to feed back into our garden. In the mean time…

Shout out to our compost delivery. This year we’re grateful for LivingEarth Soil from Ramona, CA who delivered 6 yards of beautiful compost to feed our veggie beds.

They don’t have a social media presence, but if they did, you’d see the life they bring to gardens all over our county.
