Green Thumb Gardens
Our Green Thumb Gardens have long been located behind the clubhouse and were only recently expanded by eight additional lots, thanks to the good wishes of our Trustees. These lots were quickly taken by the next applicants who were waiting for a garden and believe it or not, we still have a waiting list of at least five more applicants. With the coming of spring, I believe that we will have a few more openings.
The rules are still the same: no gardener can have any more than two lots, each one approximately 10 by 20 feet - when available - but basically, we generally give out only one per gardener. Please, no furniture - a small bench or chair is o.k. The lots are open to residents of Covered Bridge and only residents should be working the lots. I understand some will say, "look at the gardeners that have three lots," but you must understand that they are veteran gardeners that once began by sharing with another gardener many years ago or multiple lots were given out when there were no takers around.
We must extend a heartfelt thank you for the pebbles placed on the paths between the gardens so that we will no longer walk on mud or on slippery carpets. Hopefully, when spring arrives, and with a little cooperation from Mother Nature, we will be able to get our usual early plantings of peas, onions, broccoli, or whatever grows best in cooler weather.
We would like to start a Garden Club to exchange ideas and solutions! Please let us know if you are interested. For more information, call Ivan Krupit 732-536-6307 or Ken Nankervis 732-972-0742. So that's the story for now ... Happy gardening!!
