Heather Welcome home! I hope you had a wonderful and warm winter! I would enjoy heading down there with you next week. What is the best way to coordinate? 

Comment by Heather K on April 10, 2012 at 1:34pm

Honeybees + Mason Bees + Bumble Bees are awakening!

 Fruit blossoms needing pollination have begun to bloom!  Remember to Not mow your first bloom of dandilions, as they provide early food for  early emerging native bees, along with blooming mustards/brassicas. 

Want to learn more?  I'll be heading down to Burlington to pick up some Italian honeybees (Apis mellifera) in a week or so (4/15-4/20).  I also hope to find the some Hawaiin queen nucs & Carniolans. 

 If you are intersted in riding down to Burlington with me to pick up the bees let me know. http://bellevillebees.com/burlington-wa-crop-pollination-bees.htm   Best way to reach me is get your phone number to me by phone text message, or leave comment on my TW message page, or in person.  You can also come to the Beekeepers club meeting as my guest this weds pm 4/11.

Chris, are any of the variety of apples you are offering good keepers?....store long into winter?

Comment by Chris Wolf on March 30, 2012 at 11:23pm

Hello friends,

I have second-year grafted apple trees for sale, many varieties such as Dayton, Chehalis, and Liberty, on semi-dwarf, dwarf, and mini-dwarf rootstock. $10 each. Or, come out to Riverhaven and I will teach you how to graft and you can take home your own baby trees! Our grafting day is April 8th (see Event on this website) or schedule your own time.

Would any permaculture buff be willing to come over to my property and look at helping me plan some sustainable plantings?

thanks

Molly

Are you a gardener with questions about gardening? Do you enjoy learning by doing hands-on work along side someone who is knowledgeable rather than using a book?

Consider the C.I.A.: Citizen Involved Agriculture at Inspiration Farm. We are designing this project to give newish gardeners and farmers some hands-on experience working with a knowledgeable farmer - Brian Kerkvliet - at his farm just north of Bellingham. In addition to what you learn directly from working at the farm, there will be time to ask your specific gardening questions. And as crops become ready to harvest, participants will get a share of it.

There is no charge for participating in this project. But we would like a group of people who are enthusiastic and can commit to coming to most of the weekly work sessions from March through September. That's just one 2.5 hour work session per week. (It's possible to make special arrangements for those who are serious about participating but can't make all the weekly sessions.) For our farmer, it is best to have a group of motivated workers whom he can rely on to show up at the scheduled time and give some good energy to the farm.

If you would like to ask questions or sign up to participate call Angela at 733-3541

Maxine,

Fairhaven is a neighborhood in the Southside of Bellingham.  Location of the plant sale is likely to be 11th St. and Mill Ave, near the Fairhaven Village Green.  I don't know if the actual date is confirmed. 

For more information, email: contact@fairhavenneighbors.org

"Fairhaven is the south side of Bellingham, Washington State, located 80 miles north of Seattle. It was originally a separate town and is now centered around a charming historic district. Fairhaven is well known in the Pacific Northwest for its ambience and relaxed atmosphere."

Some Transition Snoqualmie Valley members might want to attend the Fairhaven plant sale in March and would like to know where Fairhaven is.  If we use our GPS have to have town.   Thanks, Maxine
