Leah M. and Stephanie accomplished much today at the Garden, including pulling up the crop fabric after last night's freeze to find..... healthy corn sprouts! They also harvested 4 grocery bags full of spinach that Carl will take to the Food Pantry tomorrow. They had trouble weighing it but suspect 2-3 lbs of spinach was picked. They continued work on setting the first course of cinder blocks on the last raised bed as well as put a couple of coats of primer and base color on four 16" garden pavers that will be used as caps for a few of the raised bed corners. Finally, they watered the strawberry transplants and worried over the frost-bitten young basil....
Tomorrow we will be hosting the Crosswind Elementary "Roots and Shoots" Garden Club from 4p - 5:15p. We will be planting okra and radish seeds as well as decorating the garden pavers. Please come if you can!
Healthy corn (yay!):
