What is this group about?

Finding people in San Antonio to yardshare with or to learn from will be easier the more folks we have in this group. We'll try to list other San Antonio groups that form.

It is easy enough to add a group by clicking on the tabs.

On this site you can write on anyone's wall but to send a private message you must be a friend,(which is the opposite of Facebook). You can embed video and add pictures to any post. You can also attach files to discussions. There is no "feed" like on Facebook so your friends will only see what you post if you post it to a page they look at. Which may mean more posting on groups.

Other San Antonio Pods/Groups:
Jefferson Area Yard Share.

Comment by Wayne Thomas 20 hours ago: We have tomatoes. They are too small to eat and they might freeze but at least they grew.

Our gardens are growing well. It is so convenient to have a community garden outside in the front yard. When we are outside in it, it is also easier for neighbors to come up and talk. It is a winning community builder. If you don't have a yard to grow in, come use ours. We've got lots more space.

For some reason Jennifer's squash are growing but then going bad. Any ideas?

Our Tomatoes are putting out lots of greenery but not tomatoes.

Comment by Wayne Thomas on October 8, 2009 at 12:50pm: One worry about yardsharing might be how do to pay for the water. This past month has been one of extraordinary, unprecedented rain (after an unprecedented drought this summer), so we haven't had to water too much. As far as I can tell all our yardshare gardens (we don't water anywhere else) used no more than 750 gallons in September which amounts a water charge of less than $2,00. If it ever is an unmanageable amount then we'll pass the hat but I don't think I'll go collect 50 cents from everyone this month.

Comment by Wayne Thomas on September 5, 2009 at 3:31pm: 1/5 of an inch of rain last night as measured in our new tiny rain gauge, which measures up to an inch and half.

Comment by Wayne Thomas on August 31, 2009 at 4:31pm: Paula, that's a great idea. I have some things that may work that I can pass on to you.

Comment by Paula Harris Flores on August 30, 2009 at 7:20pm: The Pearl event was interesting. I would be interested in putting out flyers to try and recruit more members for this group. I could post them up at my college:)

Comment by Leslie Provence on August 29, 2009 at 2:14pm: Hey, Wayne! So glad you started this group to get us collected. See you tomorrow at the Pearl event.
