Mother's Day is a great time to get plantings out into the garden

We had a beautiful, sunny, perfect first Saturday together out in the community garden!  Old and new friends gathered to lay out plans for the medicinal and rainbow gardens and to put in some plantings (peanuts in the rainbow and romanesco broccoli in the Mother garden).  It was perfect timing for those who hold off on planting until after Mother's Day, when the risk of frost will be less.

Here are some pictures from our day:

(even better with friends!) :)

the rainbow garden  


peanuts (they'll have yellow leaves, so they are in 
their own stripe of the rainbow garden)


We'll be back out there this Wednesday from 6pm to dusk, so come on out if you'd like to play in the dirt with us!  Hugs and love to our garden sister Llenay who is on a 3 week trip to Africa planting seeds of peace, abundance and community among the women there.  


Happy Mother's Day!
