Monday Bob, Greg, Patree, Bari, Selby, and Mary harvested 5 lbs of sweetpeas Patree took to Page Robbins), and 147 lbs of sweetcorn and 37 lbs of squarsh and cukes which Carl delivered to three elderly needy families south of the tracks.
We also cleaned up plot 6 and hilled it up and mulched it ready to plant, then pulled up the corn in plot 5. I took 8 big plastic bags of weeds to the church dumpster. Hershel, our mulch team captain, provided 40 bags of grass clippings we used to mulch plot 6 with a few left over for plot 5. Jimmy mowed and I edged with glyphosate.
Here's the plan. The weather is sposed to be very pleasant over the weekend and I know now when I need to be at the baseball field Friday and Saturday.
Thursday morning 630-730ish we will harvest squarsh, cukes, and more sweetcorn. and do some weeding in plot 5 where the corn was.
Friday afternoon 3-5 we will continue weeding and hilling up plot 5, then mulch it, then plant sweet tater skips there and cantaloupes in plot 6.
Saturday morning 9-11 we will dig taters from plot 3 and dig up the asparagus plants, then cleanup and hill up and mulch and plant purplehull peas in plot 3.
Monday 430-630ish we will complete whatever we did not get done the rest of this week and start pulling up corn stalks from plot 1 and clean it up.
Clearly we need a LOT OF HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you have not participated this year, perhaps one of these times will work for you. My cell phone 901-485-6910.
1,712 lbs YTD + 189 lbs Monday = 1,901 lbs total for 2012.
THANKS!
Aint God good.
