Garden Update

st Sunday, May 25, there was no rain after all and we planted broccoli, arugula, kale, buttercrunch lettuce, romaine lettuce, cauliflower, red leaf lettuce, beets, and cabbage - a total of 700 plants.  Simultaneously, a hard working team of members dug an extensive trench to successfully bury the water hoses.  Work was begun to move fresh wood chips onto the garden paths, and spinach was harvested for all to take home.  38 people from 24 households accomplished all this.

Our next workday is scheduled for Saturday, April 14, at 10:00 a.m.

Meaghan Carpenter, garden member, has volunteered to work with Larry to coordinate and organize our workdays this season.  Meaghan is the artist who created and produced the wonderful garden sign that hangs on our garden gate. Recently she has enrolled in classes to become a master gardener. Each week she will post on the list-serve reminders of upcoming workdays, what work has been scheduled, and what tools to bring.  She will help supervise on the workday so we'll be doing a little less figuring-it-out-as-we-go-along and dealing with fewer spur of the moment directions. Many, many thanks to Meaghan for taking this on.
