Please support our volunteer run humanitarian relief organization with the purchase of some organically grown heirloom tomato plants.
Bountiful Garden April 2009 Newsletter
Spring Heirloom Tomato Plant Sale Updates
We've added two more big events to our calendar!! All three
of the events that we'll be attending are fun and educational for the whole family and include many exhibits and activities for the kids.
We've got thousands and thousands of beautiful, healthy and happy plants so please pass the word along and help make this our most successful fundraiser yet. We're 100% volunteer run and all of our proceeds go towards supporting humanitarian relief (specifically post traumatic stress relief for hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc.).
**Some of the popular varieties that we're sold out of our Santa Clara Canner, Isis Candy, Branywine from Croatia and Monte Carlo. Our apologies for not keeping our website up to date but our webmaster
(Frank) has been a little busy as of late.
Please spread the word and encourage friends and family to sign up for our newsletter on our website.
Free Bountiful Garden T-Shirts for a $10 donation
In a tactical blunder, we've ordered too many t-shirts and need to sell them to help offset our costs so if you're interested, please grab one this weekend or next at our booth.
HR 875
In something straight out of Orwell's 1984 and legislation that is almost impossible to believe, there is a bill in the House of Representatives called HR 875 that illegalizes Organic Farming!!! This is not a joke or a hoax. The bill was sponsored by Monsanto (*who
else??) and needs to be stopped. Read here (or do an internet search on HR 875) for more details and contact your congressman.
Urban Location Needed For Nursery Facility (a parking lot would even work).
We are in a long term search of a location where we can house our facility, which may consist mainly of a nursery, shops, facilities, etc. Ideally, the site will be centrally located to our volunteer base which is mostly around the Cupertino/Sunnyvale /San Jose area, has easy access to roads, parking, etc. and has running water available. Even a parking lot would work although we'd prefer soil so we can also grow tomatoes in the summer.
As we continue to grow and expand, our operation continues to require more and more equipment to keep up with our ability to produce high quantities of quality product. If you're aware of any one with an old pickup that they'd like to donate for a tax deduction, please forward this along to them. Since we plan to operate the vehicle for three years, they will get a write-off of the full value of the truck, not just what we could have sold it for.
Please provide Tomato Reviews this year on what you've grown.
Our Website has undergone
a complete revamping including an easier way to navigate through all of our varieties. This will help us decide what to grow more of next year and help confuse gardeners with more choices!!
Anyone who has bought our tomatoes in the past or happens to have an opinion on a particular variety to provide their own comments and also give a rating. This way, visitors to the site can view things such as the top 10 rated tomatoes do see which types they want to grow this year.
So, if you've purchased plants from us in the past and want to add a review and a rating for any of the varieties we have, go to the website, register, and go to the individual varieties and add your comments. This will come in handy in the spring as it will let us know which varieties to grow more of and help people (or
confuse people) by giving them more information.
Community Service Opportunities
The Bountiful Garden Foundation is a completely, 100% run volunteer organization focused on raising funds for humanitarian relief efforts (specifically post traumatic relief for earthquake, flood, hurricane, tsunami, etc. victims).
If you're interested in lending a hand, helping plant seedlings, assisting in selling our harvest or any activities in between, we have an abundance of meaningful and fun activities for the whole family, from March through November. Interested parties please go to our volunteer page and submit your name/email to our volunteer list and we'll be in touch.
Thanks!!

Sorry about that. We played today at Houge Park.
One of the owners of the Yahoo group needs to modify the description of the

Hi,
We had a decent turnout on Sunday and some are emerging as regulars.
If we can get more of the ones that have come out once we will have a
good group and can grow from there (and perhaps poach a few from the
ones going from south to farther north).
See you next Sunday!
Cheers
Lou
Hi,
We've had success the last two weeks in having a reasonable
turnout. Please add myself and Chakra (who's shown some initiative in
supporting the group with his signup page) as moderators so we can
update the times and announcements. Thanks.
Cheers
Lou

my only involvement now is monitoring the yahoo cl frisbee group
online. anyway, last i heard, there was very little turn out for the
games once the field location moved from houge park to the high school
earlier this year. can anyone confirm this is the case? is anyone
playing regularly on sundays?

get involved again in a few months once it warms up... i'd probably
move the games back to hogue, as that seemed to be a good central
place for folks to meet up. hopefully the field isn't that bad... :)

Thanks to everyone who came out last Sunday. Was good to meet
everyone and find a game closer to home. We look forward to having it
grow and prosper. As Helga mentioned, might be good to update the
website (location and time not correct) so there's no confusion. See
you Sunday!
Why don't we make it easy for everybody to access that link and maybe send reminders to the whole group to sign up? Also someone might want to update the page on the yahoogroup where it mentions the highschool with a note that it is alive? Just suggestions if we want to get Sundays to grow.
