On Sunday 11 May 2014, Stephanie and her son watered the Garden and started removing the garlic flower heads. We also checked the bluebird house and found a nice surprise-- the eggs had hatched! Mama bird watched our every move.
On Monday 12 May 2014, Carl mowed and Patree and Stephanie started weeding the garlic and finished picking the flower scapes. We mulched the north archway pole bean pots with straw, over-seeded the centers of two of the north cinder block beds with bicolor sweet corn, planted about 20 mammoth sunflowers amongst the onions in plot 1, the mustard in plot 6, and the outer corners of the largest cinder block beds. We also watered everything well.
On Thursday, 15 May 2014, at 7:30 am, Carl will be harvesting cabbage and mustard greens to bring to the Collierville Food Pantry. Please come if you are able.
On Friday, 16 May 2014, from 8 am - 10 am, we will be moving mulch to refill the Plants 4 Habitat plot that we emptied for the cinder block beds. Please bring shovels, wagon/wheelbarrow, if possible.
On Saturday, 17 May 2014, from 7 am - 10 am, Carl and Stephanie will be in the Garden to plant melons, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes, and maybe some more sweet corn in the south raised beds. If time left, we will mulch the beds with straw and/or possibly continue the fresh mulch transfer for the P4H plot. Please come if you can.
On Sunday, 18 May 2014, from 4 pm - 5:30 pm, we will be hosting a Girl Scout Troop to tour the Garden and plant zinnia seeds in the raised beds outside the Garden fence and work on some vase decoration for the Zinnia Donation project. Please join us if you can for a fun teaching opportunity.
