Thursday, July 23, 2026 – Garden Plot Renumbering Project Complete

Image
  We have completed the garden plot renumbering project we told you about in June. All of the paint faded and broken markers have been removed and replaced with newly painted white markers. Each row has now been identified with a letter, then the plot number in that row. For example, plot 58 has now been renumbered to D-10. When talking about your plot(s), please ensure you use the letter in addition to the number. The changeover chart emailed to you previously has been reproduced here again for your convenience.

The excessive rain caused significant disruptions across the Edmonton region, including Sherwood Park and Strathcona County, with washed-out roads and states of local emergency declared in neighboring rural areas due to localized flooding and severely saturated ground. This immense rainfall has adversely affected us as well.     Standing water on the driveway in Field One.
