It was time once again for the initial OFW Garden workday on the last Saturday of March. It was a blustery morning, but we managed to get the beds turned over, weeds pulled, (Thanks to Dot who did an excellent job of weeding all the Strawberry beds last week!) and the compost bins turned over. It was nice to be back in the garden among friends even if the weather was chilly! Thanks to Dwayne, Freddie, Martin, Julia, Dot, Brian, Trudy, John and Gail for the hard work and camaraderie.
We cut the morning short, and several of us headed over to Daruby Early Learning Center to assist Gateway Greening and Gail with the installation of 6 raised beds for the preschool. We enjoyed a chili lunch while waiting for the compost and lumber to be delivered. Then we completed our work just as SNOW started accumulating. There is a before and after shot above of Daruby's raised beds. Congrats to Gail and staff on having a proper garden to plant with the children!
We're looking forward to warmer weather on April's workday, and hope to get more planting completed as well as completing the tool shed. Thanks to everyone for their hard work!
