Wawanosh 4-H keeping busy with garden maintenance Loretta Higgins Wawanosh 4-H Club Meeting five of the Wawanosh 4-H "Gardenin' Gang" took place on Tuesday, May 31, 2016 at the Wingham Community Garden. As members were arriving they went straight to the gardens and started weeding. Once all members had arrived President Maisy led roll call which was: " Name your favourite fruit grown in Ontario and how you like to eat it." A majority of the members said they like apples cut up. After roll call, the club was split into three groups. All groups had to weed and dig two trenches through their beds. However, once the wed- ding was complete, the groups planted different plants. The first group planted tomatoes and put up trellises for peas. The second group planted onions and watered every- one's freshly planted plants. The third group laid down landscape cloth and planted watermelons. With all the needed planting done, some of the business for the meeting was done. Leaders reminded members of the projects to be completed by the end of the club, leaders asked what the club what they learned or felt good about from this meeting, and Abby handed out title pages. Members then enjoyed a snack provided by Eileen of fruits that could be grown in Ontario and the meeting was closed with the motto. The next meeting is June 16. hi" Lt Submitted Maisy Jefferson digging a trench through one if the garden beds.
