Update

Hello Volunteers!

What a great watering God gave the garden this past week!  Sure made it easy for tending. : )  We thank Malo Engel for tending the garden this past week and Marian Izerman will tend it this coming week.  Marian - the carrots need to be thinned every 2 inches, or so.  They look like grass growing along most of the garden bed borders.  If you pull out a lot of little seedlings that look like they would survive elswhere, they can be replanted in the small beds on the north side of the garden along the perimeter.  Also, as a reminder, be sure to check the peas to make sure they are climbing the support and don't forget to water the potted tomato in the corner (our cherry tomatoes for eating, yum) and the shrubs & whiskey barrel planters on the north side of the fence. : )

The collards are near harvesting and Farmer Dan from Food Gatherers has a new round of seedlings to be planted. So, Barb and Muriel will find out from Dan if our collards are ready to be pulled, get new ones and plant them.  Thanks, ladies!

Harvey has agreed to attach the latch and last hinge to the gate.  This will be great and the rope can be removed.  Yea!  Thanks, Harvey!

In the coming week, if there are any concerns regarding the garden, please contact Barb or Muriel.  I will be out of town on my first vacation in 2 years (since the onset of my CHF).  I'm looking forward to a trip with Paul.  That said, the next update will be on Monday, not Saturday.

Have a blessed week,
Cathy
