Work Day Update






We were blessed with beautiful weather and we almost finished our ambitious list of things to do!

Gail and Chase planted flowers around the sign. Larry and Cortez put up the grape trellises then moved on to finish the pergola on the compost bin. All of us worked on getting the garden paper down in the orchard and re-mulching - some of us ALL DAY! That was an important lesson learned: Garden paper is your friend. Use it early and often. We won't make that mistake again! (The layer of mulch we had in the orchard already did not prevent grass and weeds from growing through it, so it was starting to look bad.)

Thanks to all the volunteers who showed up and those that volunteered to babysit: Gail, Sue, Cortez, Denise, Chase, Brian and Trudy. We definitely have a lot to show for this workday!
