A seed is planted

Actually, many seeds. Amazing what a few people can accomplish in 2+1/2 hours.

Next garden work date is Tuesday, May 19, at 5:00 PM.

Thank you to Donna, Grace, and Becky, who did the lion's share of the work with a little help from Kyle, we finished laying out and forming up our planting beds this morning, and cleared out the weeds and grass growing up along the north boundary of the garden.

Then, eager to get seeds in the ground, we planted onion sets, corn, spinach, several varieties of lettuce, carrots, and radishes.

We agreed to meet at the garden briefly on Tuesday evening to water and clean up a bit more.

We still have space for potatoes, pumpkins, beans, peas, squash, broccoli, cauliflower and anything else that suits people's fancy.

I have school obligations until June 10, so I need to stick with our interim schedule of working the garden at 8:00AM on Saturday, but certainly that shouldn't stop anyone from going out and doing anything that looks like it needs to be done at any convenient time.

We have a great start on a beautiful garden.

Thank you to everyone.

Chris
