Payson Community Garden Spring Gardening Class #9

University of Arizona Cooperative Extension Gila County presents: Garden and Country Extension Webinar Series. From February 11 to April 15, 2021, I am proud to be hosting the spring gardening classes for the Payson Community Garden in northern Gila County. You are invited to join us and learn along with Payson’s community gardeners. Classes include soil building and its great benefits, ways to have healthy plants throughout the garden season, how to keep bugs and disease away, and harvesting at the right time. Presenters will be available for Q&A to discuss applying practices to your situation.

Featured Topic: More on How to Water Your Garden Webinar

Featured Speaker: Bill Pitterle, Payson Community Gardener: Bill has been with the garden since 2013. He has successfully grown his own garden with great tomatoes, butternut squash, pumpkins and really hot peppers - like the Ghost Pepper. Bill is team leader for automatic watering of the garden and repairs as necessary of the water system. He has successfully grown the popular pie pumpkins for our fall Pumpkin Patch for the last several years and as an added attraction he grew Indian Corn that was over 11 foot high with beautifully colored kernels.

Water Restrictions in Flagstaff

With the spring lawn and garden season coming up just as the weather turns dry, the city of Flagstaff is reminding residents to conserve water.
The city is currently at Stage 1 in its water conservation rules. There are three stages of water conservation rules that the city puts in place to conserve water as the weather gets drier.
The Stage 1 level is the lowest level and the city operates year-round at this level.
At this level, no watering of any kind is allowed between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to avoid loss of water through evaporation. City residents and businesses with odd-numbered address can use automatic irrigation before 9 a.m. or after 5 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Even-numbered addresses are allowed to water on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. There is no automatic irrigation allowed on Mondays.
Everyone can water by hand seven days a week before 9 or after 5. The city defines hand-watering as using a bucket or holding a hose to water plants. Hoses attached to sprinklers or running freely on a plant are not considered hand-watering.
