Thank you! Thank you......
to everyone who threw down and made the most recent garden workdays amazing! There was so much great energy and excitement. Around 15 people showed up this past Sunday to work, get dirty, have fun, be outside, eat food, and meet new people.
Rich, the construction master!
D and Jonathan reinforcing walls
Thinning radishes and weeding
Sunning in the sun, after digging a lot of dirt, and hauling a lot of rocks.
Lots of digging, hauling rocks, weeding, cutting wood, constructing beds, seeding, labeling, cooking, and eating. Basically, a blast.
The ladies working on seedling tomatoes, peppers, basil, herbs, fennel, and eggplants.
