Victory Garden March 16, 2013 A Beautiful Day!

Happy St Patrick's Day Eve!

"Go raibh Dia leat agus go mbeannaí Dia duit!" 

and I ain't even Irish except for March 17. I'se Norman Viking via England.

We had a wonderful productive fun day in the garden and got more done than I could have wished for. There is no better gardeners and team workers than the Victory Garden angels!

Next work day is Monday March 18, 430-630pm. I am asking Bob Hathaway and Whit Whitacre to lead it. 

Main thing to get done is to get plots 1 and 5 ready to plant corn when I get the corn seed. See plot 6 (front right/north) and  plot 3 (front left/south) for how they need to look. Also if we get more cardboard, then cover the cross walking paths and cover them with mulch which is already in piles in the walking paths ready to use.  

Today, Satiddy, March 16, Al, Twila, Wes, Helen and Amy, Karen and David and Cody, Carol, Leah and David and Anthony, Sue, John and Adam, Jes, Jeff, Janet, and Joan: (Forgive my faulty rememory if I left out an angel or two.)

Cleaned out plot 3 and planted taters, onyuns, Romaine lettuce, and Bonnie hybrid cabbiges, and cleaned out plot 6 ready for Jan and Selby to plant.

Spread cardboard and mulched most of the walking paths till we rund outa cardboard. They look so purty! We need more cardboard!!!

The flower team got a lot of their much needed, much appreciated, beautiful work done!!! 

John and Adam and some others donated much needed cardboard.

Wes donated onyuns.

Al donated two trailer loads of mulch and went got them and delivered them!!!

Jeff fixed the front wheel on the wheelborrow.

Whit fixed the hoe.

Dr John Bradley donated the Carbon Boost.

Les Branum of Bonnie Farms donated the lettuce and cabbige sets.

Mr Brown of EPlex donated 3 cubic yards of Promix which may be piled on the parking lot by Monday, but we are not ready to put that into the raised beds just yet. 

BIG THANKS to Wendell Kruse, the Epiphany garden leader, for arranging that for us.

Let's remember some of our angels as they are undergoing various physical problems and pray for His healing hand to cover them with a full and quick recovery:

Sherry Barwick's husband

Joan Hermann

Peggy Risner

and others we don't know about.

See some pix below including my new t shirt. In case you don't know where Buckatunna MS is, it's the last MS pit stop before going into AL on US45 just south of Hiwanee, Pusheta, Wahalak, Shuqalak, Shuba, Scooba, and Shubuta.

Ain't God good!
