Update from The PCWD Office

Posted by on

Welcome to Summer!!
The sun is shining, the plants are blooming, and we are looking forward to seeing happy faces outside.

While the mask requirements have eased across the state, we are still staying extra diligent with asking people to mask up before coming into the office and limit amount of people that are in at a time.

Have you lost a pair of reader glasses? We have a pair here in the office that were left.

Bills are due July 1st. There is a $15.00 late fee that will be applied to all accounts that are not paid by the due date.
At this point, I’m not sure I would rely on the postal service to get your check to us in time but you can always drop off your payment night or day by coming in and saying hi or thru the slot on the front door.
You can log onto your account online and pay with a Visa/Mastercard/Discover, or E-check. There is a merchant fee of $3.00 per hundred spent for this option. To register your account online, you will need your account number and the Municipality Code of PineCoveWDCA. Go to our website at www.pcwd.org and click the “Billing” tab. Follow the links from there.
If you are signed up for the ACH Auto Draft payment option, your bill will be automatically paid on the 1st.

Apples, aphids, and ladybugs

Posted by on
Little apple buds starting to appear

The sun is shining, the birds are building, and the foliage is blooming.
We have the first buds starting on the apple trees and aphids have already found the milkweed. Ladybugs are in short supply and we are looking for any leads on LARGE quantity of live lady bugs.

We are happy to report that a few ladybugs have found their way to our milkweed but with the amount of aphids we’re seeing, we need a whole army. Local suppliers seem to be out and we are wary of having ladybugs shipped and end up arriving dead. Do you have a lead on ladybugs? Let us know so we can help keep our Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary free of aphids without using anything that will harm the butterflies or their larvae.

We hope the few ladybugs we have find the aphids
See those yellow dots – those are aphids 🙁

Mulch and Wood Chips Available

Posted by on

Thinking gardening time is just around the corner? Just in time for spring cleaning, the PCWD offers free mulch and wood chips to its customers. If you are interested in either wood chips or mulch just come on by the Dutch Flats location anytime. Both are great for gardening, holding in moisture of soil and they make a nice added touch to spruce up your yard or potted plants.

You must bring your own materials to gather or shovel and haul the mulch or wood chips away. If you are planning on gathering a large amount on your own, please let us know in the office as we want to be sure there is enough for everyone.

If you need a larger load of either call the office and we can deliver a dump truck load for $125 delivery charge.

APRIL SPECIAL
Get a dump truck load of WOOD CHIPS for ONLY $75.00
Our deliveries are around 9 cubic yards and you just need to indicate where to leave the pile.

OFFICE UPDATES

Posted by on

We are a full month into 2021. The pandemic has played a major role in all of our lives over the last year. Businesses have been affected and we are no different.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, in addition to sanitizing all surfaces, wearing masks, and washing our hands often, we took additional precautions such as limiting the amount of in-person services we accommodate and even building a partition at the entrance of our building as well as in between our desks. When the numbers escalated, we split the office shifts to reduce the amount of personal contact we have with each other.

We are happy to announce that as of February 1st, Becky and Jennifer are in the office for their normal business hours of 9am – 4pm. We are still limiting the amount of in-person services and keeping our office “closed” to the public. Our mail slot in the door is accessible at all times to drop off payments and communications, we are available by phone at 951-659-2675, our emergency after hours number 951-294-8282, and by email Becky@pcwd.org and Jennifer@pcwd.org.

Through all of this, it is important to check in on each other. Reach out to your friends and family. If they are isolating during this pandemic, they could probably use someone that cares.

Stay safe and be well.

FREE Milkweed Plant Seeds

Posted by on

Be a part of the solution to create beautiful Monarch butterfly sanctuary gardens.

PCWD is proud to be a supporter, grower, and protector of the Monarch Butterfly society. As such, we have purchased milkweed seeds (common variety Ascelepias syriaca) and are happy to distribute them to our customers while supplies last.
These milkweed seeds are the key to our monarch’s survival and will grow almost anywhere. If you have availability to plant these 8-12″ apart in 1/2″ of moist light soil in a sunny, well drained spot, come on in to get your seeds!
Milkweed takes 3-4 weeks to germinate and 60 days until it’s full grown. Plant as many seeds as you can: one caterpillar will eat 20-25 leaves!

Here’s a great article from Garden Design all about growing milkweed for Monarchs: https://www.gardendesign.com/plants/milkweed.html.

Thank you for helping save our endangered butterflies…
… one milkweed at a time.
