Our second crop of raspberries is starting to ripen and so it is high
time that we prune out the old canes that gave us an amazing first crop
in June and July! I will be in the garden to show all interested how
this is done on Saturday, August 23 at 10:30am. I will also tell you how
to prune the second crop canes during winter.
The garden is looking great and some of our watering crews have been doing some ongoing maintenance. Thank you all!
There
is still some trimming and tidying up that should be done though, so if
you feel like hanging around for half an hour after the raspberry
pruning workshop (which will take about 5-10 min), your help would be
greatly appreciated!
Sadly, the garden has been
experiencing repeated vandalism this summer. Please, if you see any
untoward activity around the school, call either the non-emergency
police line at 604-717-3321 or if the activity warrants it (it is active
vandalism or illegal activity) call 911.
