Highland Park Tree Mulching
by Saenz Robles, Maria T 04 May '16

04 May '16

Hello fellow neighbors! TreePittsburgh is hosting a Tree Mulching Party event next week, and hope that lots of you join us to care for those beautiful trees that benefit us all! No previous experience is required! We'll meet on Thursday May 12th at 6pm and work on weeding and mulching and giving TLC to the trees in our neighborhood from 6 to 8pm. Meeting place will probably be Portland Avenue but we'll provide with final details closer to the date. Please consider signing up for this voluntary event and helping to keep our neighborhood in great shape! I am including the link for your convenience. http://www.treepittsburgh.org/events/highland-park-mulching-party-0 Thanks all, hope to see you there! Mayte Sáenz Robles

veggie, flower seedlings and some veggie seeds for sale
by Rachel Kudrick 04 May '16

04 May '16

Hello again, all. I have the following veggie seedlings available, with prices predominantly in the $1.00-$2.00 range--a few less (50-75 cents), a few larger pots more ($3.00-$5.00) All of my plants have been grown here at my house, using only organic/natural soils, fertilizers, etc. Some of them need transplant to larger containers (or in-ground), some do not. Of those listed, only the beans are not quite ready for transplant--give them a week or so at your place and they'll be ready. Unless otherwise noted, everything is either heirloom or open-pollinated (meaning that the variety will become an heirloom once it's been around for 35-50 years.) This basically means that you are able to save seeds from these plants for next year. PeasCascadia (snap)Lincoln (shelling)Dwarf Grey Sugar Snow (snow)Early Alaska (multi-use) Bush BeansDragon Tongue (wax bean with a cream and purple pod: good raw, cooked or dried)Contender (green)Golden Rocky (yellow) Pole BeansCherokee Trail of Tears (green pod, black bean. good fresh or dried) Brunswick cabbage Green Meat Radishes (no need to transplant) I have a couple varieties of zinnia (a flower) as well. These are ready for transplant. Giant Violet QueenHarlequin I'm also happy to sell little packets of seeds (customized amount to what will fit in your space) from a HUGE selection of carrot and beet varieties, all of which can be grown in-ground or in containers, as long as the container is deep enough. You can easily look the varieties up online for specifics about taste, days to maturity, etc. (I don't have them all memorized). Beets: (unless otherwise noted, all beets are red heirloom varieties). And remember, beet greens are edible, too!Albino (white)Avalanche (white, open-pollinated)Baby BallChioggia (red & white concentric circles, like a target)Detroit Dark RedDetroit SupremeGolden (yellow)Early Blood TurnipJupiter (open-pollinated)Lutz Salad LeafOkragly CiemnoczerwonyRuby QueenRobushkaTall Top Early Wonder Carrots (unless otherwise noted, all carrots are green heirloom varieties)Atomic Red (red)Candysnax (hybrid)Danvers #126Danvers Half-LongDragon (Open-pollinated, red/purple exterior with orange interior)Jaune Obtuse du Doubs (lemon yellow)MuscadeRed-Cored ChantenaySt. ValeryScarlet NantesSnow WhiteTendersweetYaYa (hybrid) just shoot me a text or give me a call and I'll let you know my address and when I'll be home! 412-251-9759 Rachel

I have a few steps and a corner cement/brick piece to fix, do you have any recommendations of a cement guy/gal that would do a good job repairing these. Most companies are large and cost a bundle.
