Next work day is around St Patrick's Day which is the traditional time to plant the spring garden. We need to plan that, which is makes for quality recliner time for me and Belle, the pom-a-poo.
Good news is Stephanie Alligood has graciously agreed to serve as the Project Leader from a Master Gardener perspective. She will do a great job and is already doing good things for us including organizing our flowers and whimsy decorations. We are looking for people who want to help with that.
Bob Hathaway brought us a trailer of compost donated by the Dixon.
He also made and brought to us interesting worm compost pipes. See picture below.
On Friday Feb 14 and today Feb 15, Bob, Sam, Selby, Leah, Rose, Jack and Deborah, Arlene, Stephanie, and I:
Cleaned up and laid down plastic and straw bales and bags of leaves in plots 3, 5, and 6.
Harvest 12 lbs of rutabagas.
Put up four new cattle panels as trellises and secured them.
Reset some onyuns which had washed out the ground.
We filled 61 pots with compost to plant bush type sweetpeas. I will start the seeds at home.
I gave a talk to at the Tipton County Museum this morning which starred our garden. Your work was well received. Same talk I gave last year and they wanted it again this year and brought friends. A Master Gardener from Dyersburg (where I was born) filmed it and with my permission will show it to the MG group up there. Mimi thinks its the jokes they liked, and I tell you: I got a million of'em.
Ain't God good!
