Victory Garden Jan 8, 2011:
We welcomed Terri(sp?) and Somer Greene of the Hutchison School who will be putting in a garden at that school.
Carl, Whit, Wes, Zoe, Jack, Les, Peg, Terri, Somer, and Larry:
Finished mulching the garden a foot deep. Used 2 piles of mulched leaves. Left the 3rd for the HFH/Flower Team.
We harvested the last of the turnips 18 lbs and rutabagas 80 lbs for a total of 98 lbs which I delivered to Ms Julia Ferguson in Harris Cv south of the tracks.
YTD 2011 total 161 lbs.

Next Saturday Jan 15 9am - 1pm is open garden tour for the HFH/Flower Team, but feel free to come any or all of that time to show the veggie garden and earn required education_given Master Gardener volunteer hours.
Also on Saturday, weather permitting, I have my spreader and 100 lbs of Super Green (with sulfur) 33-0-0 to add nitrogen (green) to the leaves (brown, carbon) which is necessary for composting, and to bring down our 7-7.2 pH which needs to be in the 6.5 to 6.8 range.
We are blessed!
