Thank you Doris, Sharon, Kelly & Lucy for your work last weekend!

The garden got a much needed spruce-up and looks great!

Here's what we did:

Mixed horse manure into the beds
Supplemented the beds with a mix of gypsum, fish meal and other materials supplied by Kelly
Weeded and culled the herbs
Re-shaped the small bed where the artichoke used to live
Harvested compost from the worms and added into the beds
Planted seedlings

In a couple of months our seedlings will be ready for harvest:  2 varieties of kale, rainbow chard and lettuce mix. Thank you Kelly!

We will also be planting broccoli, fava beans and possibly peas later in the season.  There is room for more seedlings in the raised and center beds so send your suggestions to the group.

Thanks again everyone!  Happy Autumn!

Wow...what a wonderful work day y'all had! Thank you so much!
Should we reestablish a watering schedule?

Hey all! Just wanted to send a shout out to Betsy who came over early and helped on Saturday too.
I think it's time to contribute to our little fund for plantings and stuff. Heather said $10 ought to do it.  Garden looks great!  thanks!
