Weedout!

Greetings, All,  
 
Ever since 2010 the Master Gardeners and AZ Native Plant Society members have been fighting a battle with Diffuse knapweed at the Pioneer Museum.  All I can say is WE ARE WINNING THAT BATTLE.  Thank you, weed warriors, so much.  
 
A few days ago I checked the grounds, and there is still work to do, but nothing like the 20 huge, heavy bags a day and that we were removing during at least 5 weed outs a year.  
 
Let's get 'em while they're young!!  Two weed outs are planned - Saturday, May 31 and Friday, June 6; both days from 9 until noon.  Come when you can, and leave when you must.  (MGers, this project will count toward your volunteer hours!!)  We will talk about weed identification and proper weeding techniques to reduce disturbance to the soil. 

Please bring your favorite weeding tool, in this case a small shovel works very well, sunscreen, hat, gloves, a long sleeve shirt to protect from the sun, maybe a snack, and WATER.  I will provide bags, so the grounds look nice for visitors and festival-goers.  
 
I hope to see many of you at the Pioneer Museum, 2340 North Fort Valley Road, right next to Sechrist Elementary School.
