Workday, Sunday, June 2, 2013

We made the change from a 10:00 a.m. start time to 9:00 a.m. and it 
was still incredibly hot this morning.  Phoebe brought water to share 
and lots was accomplished:

In the two new beds outside the fenced garden, strawberries, 
asparagus, and raspberries were planted while wood chips were added to 
the paths. Work was done to move wood chips away from the perimeter of 
the trees along Wexford. Many thanks to Neil and Ann for their 
generosity in donating the raspbery plants.

The now empty lettuce beds were planted with butternut squash seeds. 
Small mounds were made with compost added in. They were planted 4 feet 
apart with 3 seeds planted per mound.  There will be plenty of room 
for the plants to spread out.

All the garlic was harvested and this freed up two beds for planting 
zucchini seeds.  Again this was done by creating mounds though these 
were only 3 feet apart.

All the mustard greens were harvested. The plants were removed and 
this has given the leeks lots of room to grow and thrive now.

Arugula was harvested by cutting the plants at the bottom, leaving 
about 2 inches of plant remaining in the ground.

Broccoli, radishes, turnips, and a small number of fava beans were 
harvested.  Bush beans were planted where more garlic was removed from 
alongside the pea plants.

Many thanks to Donna and Lee for delivering our harvest to Our Daily 
Bread today. And many thanks to Aaron for repairs to the water system and setting 
up another sprinkler for the new beds!
