Volunteers Needed

Volunteers to help with the garden will meet at 6 pm on Saturday the 19th and 26th of May, weather permitting. Please bring sun and eye protection, gloves, and sturdy shoes.
 
Tasks include:

Weeding (lots and lots of weeding)
Preparing compost
Rubbish removal
Sowing seeds

Bearing Fruit

Today's garden cleanup was quite successful. Big thanks to Yolanda and John for helping out. We cleared away most of the pallets and pulled errant grass from the beds. We also planted some carrot, beets, and green beans. Storm clouds cut us short of fixing the fence this time.

The compost barrel (the blue one next to the shed) is full and needs to be allowed to finish up. We will still rotate the barrel every few days to mix air into the compost, but please don't add any more material. There will be a new container for us to put kitchen scraps in the meantime.

The eggplant is bearing its first fruit! It looks quite tasty and ready to harvest for this Sunday's shared luncheon. Stir fry sounds pretty good, don't you think?

Quick Note

The garden cleanup will be Friday afternoon at 3pm, weather permitting. We need to trim the grass, pull a few weeds, clear out the old pallets, fix the fence, and possibly plant some more seedlings.

I have lots of updates and photos to upload, as the garden is built and growing quite nicely!
