Monday June 20:
Carl, Peg, Mimi (intern) and Zoe pulled weeds and prepared the beds and planted peas where we dug potatoes and carrots last Thursday. That morning CW Doss applied granular nitrogen to the whole garden. Tuesday AM Carl watered the garden thereby bringing on the heavy rain that afternoon. You're welcome.
Thursday June 23:
Carl, Jamie ?, and Emma Jean Bass (intern) dug the last 2 rows of taters (74 lbs).
Also cut last few green cabbages, picked some green maters, and one huge volunteer turnip and took to the Food Pantry.
Dave Fitzgerald has sorted the garlic, saved next years seed bulbs, and tied up the rest in his garage. He must have a super tolerant wife!
Next work day Monday June 28 5-7pm.
Plan is to clean out, hill up, and plant peas in the two rows we dug taters this morning, and to continue to spread grass clippings on every inch of bare ground.
Anyone have a place big enough for a charity garlic dinner on a Saturday? Remember the building will smell like garlic for a few days.
Aint God good!!
