STAKE GARDEN PLOTS

The Rogers Stake will continue the "Corn Farm Project" this summer. The corn will be planted in the gardens located at the Centerton Ward site. This year we plan to plant a little more than five acres of sweet corn for member use.

Individual garden plots will also be available. If you would like to reserve a plot for your family, please contact Brother Tim Isabell (644-8281) no later than April 1st.

The stake will continue to provide water, and faucets are located at central sites; however, families will need to furnish personal water hoses to get the water to their plots. An electric fence has been installed to keep deer and raccoons away from the plants. Gates are provided to allow access into the individual plots.

All who are interested are encouraged to become involved. If you are unsure about starting a garden, the Ensign recently published a great article Seeds of Self Reliance that offers great suggestions on gardening in limited space and gardening on a budget, etc. etc.

You may have as many plots as you need--each family is responsible for watering, weeding and maintenance of their own plot. The ground will be plowed, harrowed, and disked. We are setting a goal to be ready for planting by April 1—weather permitting, but water will not be available until April 15 due to potential late freezing.
