two volunteer tasks to keep up with

Hello ... Here are a couple of things I've been doing lately and would love some backup on if someone else could pitch in from time to time (and if you already have been, then thank you!):

1) If the large black trash can is full, take it out the front gate and around the building to the driveway on the building's north side (where the bus parks). Put the full one against the wall where you see a space for it. Then get an empty one and bring it around to the garden. I have no idea when they're picked up, but those are the basics of the system and will keep the can from getting too overfilled and stinky (rotting weeds in the heat -- wow!).

2) When I have a minute and when things seem especially heat-stressed, I've been watering along the south wall/windows, in front of the gate. The banner advertising the summer camp now blocks access to the front yard (and its hose), so I've been pulling a hose under the gate. But it only reaches as far as the strawberries, and then you have to finish with a watering can. It's tedious and I can't always do a great job with it, which is why I'd love it if someone else could keep an eye out, too, and water when the plants are drooping. The black-eyed Susans are my indicator and are what I prioritize if I only have a minute -- because they look so sad when they're thirsty.

Thanks!

Tonight's Garden Haul

The pattypan squash are going crazy, as are the peppers. One of our red pepper plants got crushed, but we tried to revive it tonight, and hopefully it will produce soon, too.
