2016-07-07 06:18:36 PM tlgst16 Skershaw, perhaps you can set up raised garden beds for residents to plant in and take care of when it's finished.

2016-07-07 06:20:18 PM belindaf its too hot and unsafe heat wise for my residents to be outside gardening now
2016-07-07 06:20:23 PM vstephens I have been through a state audit of my trust and passed with flying colors
2016-07-07 06:20:28 PM skershaw we do starter kits inside,,, and help the lower functioning.
2016-07-07 06:20:36 PM kathyhughes Mine did not like to garden, but they loved being outside
2016-07-07 06:20:43 PM nancy1 We have NO outside area, but we make security block off the drive when the weather is decent and for our picnics...purchased canopy tents for weather
2016-07-07 06:20:45 PM jackie26 i have a resident who plant and take it off and say ohh it is no growing lol
2016-07-07 06:20:51 PM naomid I have a member that is going out and pulling all the plants in the gardens, anyone have ideas on how to save my garden?
2016-07-07 06:20:51 PM monigreen we put up a canopy every year so they do not get to hot and we try to have our social hour out there in the summer too
2016-07-07 06:20:53 PM vstephens mine want to be outside to smoke lol
2016-07-07 06:21:09 PM kmdemers our too lol
2016-07-07 06:21:15 PM kathyhughes Find out why they are pulling the plants
2016-07-07 06:21:15 PM jackie26 because of the huracan we do not plant or have anything out in the patio
2016-07-07 06:21:19 PM jud4me Everyone wants a garden and I do the gardening
2016-07-07 06:21:21 PM awatts heck its 97 degrees out here in texas way too hot to have my members outdoors!
2016-07-07 06:21:24 PM skershaw i have a question...... would it be ok to get one of those outdoor fire pits,,, but it has a screen that covers the top.
2016-07-07 06:21:25 PM kathyhughes and then move where you plant them
2016-07-07 06:21:29 PM belindaf mine too awatts
2016-07-07 06:21:30 PM vstephens maybe they think they are helping weed the garden
2016-07-07 06:21:34 PM tlgst16 Naomid? Is there a reason they're doing this? Were they a gardener?
2016-07-07 06:21:39 PM jackie26 yes kathy they are curious
2016-07-07 06:21:58 PM belindaf maybe they think they are weeding?
2016-07-07 06:22:01 PM kathyhughes I would check with the fire dept.....but I know of a bunch of faciolites that use them
2016-07-07 06:22:02 PM jackie26 102 degrees here as well

2016-07-07 06:22:12 PM monigreen That is true. It depends where you are. We are in the Seattle area so it is 65-80 degrees. being out side is really nice for them
2016-07-07 06:22:19 PM skershaw this would be out in the court yard...
2016-07-07 06:22:23 PM skershaw i will check...
2016-07-07 06:22:30 PM naomid it is on the deck that is open to everyone (locked and secure) he has ocd and see's them not matching so pulls them
2016-07-07 06:22:36 PM kathyhughes Ask the Fire Dept to come in and check
2016-07-07 06:22:37 PM nancy1 We havw one of those garden wagons...our folks get bored with it though...but there seems to be a mystery person who does keep getting it watered and weeded
2016-07-07 06:22:38 PM vstephens peat pots and egg cartons go a long way then take them out to plant once they are bigger
