On Saturday Carl and Adam put promix in the north and south raised beds outside the front garden fence to ready them for zinnia seeds. They also continued adding promix to 3 of the 4 north-side cinder block beds. They hung the mason bee houses and sprayed the cabbages with witch hazel.
Tomorrow (Wednesday, April 30) , assuming the garden is dried out enough, from 9:30 am - noon we will be finishing up moving the promix (and maybe the rest of the compost) into the last raised bed and remaining cinder block holes... and any other necessary tidy-up.
This week, Carl also plans to mow and trim.
We also want to invite everyone to an open house event that will be at the Garden this Sunday, May 4 from 10:30 am - 1:30 pm. The church will be having a cookout and both CVG and Plants 4 Habitat have demonstrations and give-aways planned. Stephanie needs some folks to help oversee the zinnia seed sowing with the church kids, Val could use some help at her seed-starting table, and also a couple of folks to serve as garden tour guides. Stephanie will also have some pints of green tomato relish that she made with some of the abundance of green tomatoes from CVG last year to give away.... Please let me know if you are able to attend!
See you at the garden!
