Saturday, April 21

SATURDAY April 21:  18 people from 14 households came to work today and installed metal fence posts  around the perimeter of the new garden.  Cement was poured to secure wooden gate posts for two gates with thanks to Hugh Pocock's leadership. Two water towers were installed with rotating sprinklers, thanks to Daniel Jacoby.  Free wood chips were delivered to the garden this week from AAA Tree Service and work was begun covering the garden paths with the chips.  Spinach was harvested.  The plan was to have a consecutive workday on Sunday, April 22, but we were rained out and the work postponed to the following weekend.

Saturday, April 28: Today's turnout - 28 people from 22 households.  Weed whacking was done around the entire perimeter of the garden and a now experienced crew made short work of moving the entire pile of wood chips onto the garden walkways.  The new beds were raked. Horse radish plants and green bean seeds were planted.  Wiring was run along the tops of the fence posts and fencing was strung and secured to encompass the expanded garden.  Our first crop of arugula was harvested along with more spinach.  

We work again this Sunday, May 6, at 10:00

All the best,

Naomi
