Produce share on Sunday

Don't forget the produce share on Sunday, in Hummingbird Park, corner of Fisk and Bird, from 1:00 to 3:00. If you have something to share (plants, veggies, fruits, goodies made from your garden, etc.), come on by and drop it off. You don't need to offer anything to receive something great -- the goal is to keep great food from going to waste.

Party in the Park

You've probably already received your flier about this year's Party in the Park. Hard to believe summer is almost over, isn't it?

This Saturday is our annual Party in the Park. Everyone is invited to Hummingbird Park, August 11 from 5-8pm for one giant North Willow Glen gathering. We had a great turn out last year and we are expecting more of the same.

The generous folks at Elite Ballroom will help you work up an appetite. by giving away free, professional Salsa lessons at 6pm and Swing lessons at 6:30pm.  Adults won't be having all the fun though. There will be crafts for the kids to keep them entertained.

Once you're good and hungry, pick from an assortment of barbequed hot dogs, kindly provided by our city council member, Pierluigi Oliverio. Feel free to bring a snack or side dish to share. But save a little room because you'll want to follow that up with some delicious Treat Ice Cream.

You'll also have the option of touring about town the way a very fortunate Willow Glenner would have when many of these houses were fairly new. Dan Erceg will be giving rides in his 1915 Pierce Arrow. Liberal use of the hand sanitizer is recommended (especially for the little ones) before climbing aboard this spectacular antique automobile.

If you have any extra produce, be sure to bring it by as well. This weekend's Produce Share will be moved from Sunday to Saturday during the party this weekend only.

We look forward to seeing you there. It's going to be fun.

Reminder: Produce Share at Hummingbird Park Today 1-3p

From today's host, Roy Nordblom:

 

I will be bringing a pie to cut up and give away to whoever comes Sunday.  It is a Himilayan Blackberry pie I bought at a Farmer's Market in Humboldt County.  I paid $15 for the beautiful thing, and my family is not interested!  So I will give away chilled slices of it to YOU, the neighbor who drops by the Produce Share !!

I have this big fat watermelon that I will be cutting up and giving away to whoever wants some.  A gift from the garden, this juicy melon will be free for the tasting at Hummingbird Park sunday afternoon!

My peach tree has produced peaches in it's very first year in the ground!  The tree is still a baby, only about 9' tall at the best, but there are a ton of sweet, juicy peaches coming off that little tree!  I have a basket of them to give away, I will slice up a bunch and let visitors to the park taste them, and take some home, free.

My daughter Dove has a kid's table.  At the children's table there will be free shells from the Atlantic Ocean, shiny rocks and crystals, and other fun stuff for little people to play with and take home.  Bring your own extra bling to share.

What is EXTRA STUFF to share?  You know, edible schwag, yummy loot, something valuable that you have way too much of, it will go bad before you will be able to consume it anyway, may as well give some to your neighbors.

Your fruit tree that is constantly dropping stuff, vegetable bounty that all comes ripe at the same time, what do you do with the excess? too much of something you bought in bulk at Costco now what are you going to do with it?  Extra leftovers in the refrigerator, those extra cookies you baked - SHARE them with your neighbors

It is like a free farmer's market.  Everyone has something to share, everyone comes away from the Produce Share with a fun bag of free to take home.  Oh, and it is a great way to meet your neighbors and make friends.  Kid friendly, too!

Plant Clinic at this week's Willow Glen Farmers' Market

A plant clinic will be offered at the Willow Glen Farmers' Market on the first Saturday of the month, staffed by Master Gardeners. They will provide gardening information and assist you in finding solutions to individual gardening problems. The public is encouraged to bring their gardening questions, and also specimens of their plant problems (for example, leaves with mysterious black spots, withered fruit, a cute bug in a jar ...)
