Friday evening we finished planting the remaining hedge plants. A group of cousins stopped for a while and learned the differences between night crawlers, grubs and good ol' earthworms. They helped throw the leftover clods of dirt into a pile and enjoyed throwing several of them into a puddle. We told them they could stop by anytime we were working and help. That suited them just fine.
Today is Mueller's block party and Larry went down there to hand out movie night flyers and chat up the garden with the residents there. We were told that the garden was where people had parked for the party in previous years. We had a moment of horror about someone driving over our newly planted "little guys". No plant was harmed and here's why: When Larry actually pulled into the garden (where the road/pathway will go), Cortez across the street came over yelling "you can't park there!" When he realized it was Larry, he told him that he was keeping all of our (and Cortez's) hard work safe!
That's exactly what we had hoped for: A vested interest in the immediate area!
We'll probably finish mulching the hedges Sunday evening. Volunteers are appreciated! (5:30pm)
