Planting Day: May 24, 2008

With much excitement and many helpers, we set out to plant our garden on Saturday, May 24. As with our previous two work Saturdays, the weather was perfect. The ground had been prepared and the fence posts were in place. Our team went to work immediately plotting out the garden beds, then planting various plants and seeds. Meanwhile, others worked to install the fence and build and install a gate. By the end of the day, we had the whole garden planted with crops such as cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes, beans, radishes, squash, peppers and kale. Thanks to all who helped, the day was a huge success! Once the garden was planted, we added colorful streamers to our garden fence to help keep the wildlife out. The streamers gave the garden an added festive look. As of this post, the fence and streamers seem to have worked.
