First "work day"
































Lovely day to unload a truck full of compost and meet a few fellow gardeners onsite.  (A community garden really is just that, such a great way to come together with friends and neighbors!).  After getting the compost to our plots, we began laying out lines for our planned garden sections but we'll need to come back to finish doing that and to till the compost in.  Great news: compost is only $20 per truckload since soil tests indicate the plots could really use more organic matter.  Thanks so much for the calls/emails from those wishing to help on short notice.  We should have a more regular work schedule up on the blog/via email once plants are in the ground but we'll appreciate volunteers when we get out there to till (in the next week), finish laying planning lines (soon) and are ready to direct-seed crops (later in April).  Meanwhile, we are trialing informal seed-starting for crops with a longer growing season like tomatoes, peppers and beans for later planting.  Happy Spring!
