Mother's Day Workday, May 12, 2013

-During the week Hugh constructed our new compost bin at Larry and  Vicki's home and with their help.  Larry described it as the "Rolls 
Royce" of compost bins and we are incredibly grateful to Hugh for his  time and talent.  It was installed today and the first of three 
compartments was filled with compost  most of which came from the  plastic bins we had been using. We may also potentially use the bin to  educate the public about composting.

-Harvested one of the two beds of spinach as they won't last in the 
warm weather. The bed was completely cleared and pepper plants were  planted.
-Two iron benches were assembled and placed in the garden.
-A bed of heirloom tomatoes was planted along with two beds of 
Celebrity tomatoes. A bed of eggplants was also planted.
-Mizuna (mustard greens) were again drowning out the leeks.  We won't  be interplanting these two crops again. They were severely thinned out  in order to allow the leeks to thrive.
-Crops were harvested and a generous donation brought to Our Daily Bread, thanks to Tom and Mercedes. Harvested crops included Swiss  chard, kale, spinach, mizuna, radishes, chives, oregano, cilantro, and  some lettuce.
