Greetings fellow gardeners, last Saturday we had a crowd of volunteers at the garden. 26 adults and energetic youngsters arrived in droves to help out WOOHOO GREAT. Only trouble was we were laying down cardboard and straw in the aisles, we ran out of cardboard before we ran out of garden. We were only able to cover 6 rows. Not bad but still had 5 more to go. A few quick text messages and Monday morning I had two more loads of cardboard delivered to the garden. Thank you, Royce Yoder! I was able to finish the last 5 rows this week. Now comes the fun part. This Saturday we plant our first summer veggies. Tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers and string beans. I was able to hook up the watering system so whenever it gets too dry, we can turn a valve and water as much of the lower end as we need to. Next Saturday we plant peppers and squash. Then we can start to set up our 800 tomato cages, start to plant flowers and get our 3 sisters garden ready for summer. I still plan on planting corn for drying and sweet potatoes. Plus, several other odds and ends that need to be done. A long list that will keep us busy for many weeks to come.
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped out last week. It was great to see several new faces along with the old standbys. The garden is a special place, but it is the people that make it special. Steve, [email protected] 215-872-6616
