Nine volunteers met at Everett to work in the garden. It was a beautiful evening and very productive. The rest of the plants from the greenhouses were planted into the existing beds, straw was put under plants for mulch and water retention, all of the tomato plants now have cages.
Next week the raised bed will be plowed into the front lawn right by the greenhouses. These beds will be planted with additional veggies and some summer rye. It is our hope to grow enough food to supply the students with some snacks in the fall.
When working in the garden please bring gloves. The poison ivy has spread and really likes the soil in the garden.
A water schedule was created last night and will be updated on a weekly basis during our Monday evening events. Volunteers will post when they have watered to the blog.
The garden was a beautiful place for babies this week. Three baby bunnies were born behind the sage bushes and two baby cardinals were out on their first walk through the flowers. A few ducks have also decided to use the front lawn as an early morning gathering place.
