Perfect spring weather + garden workday = Spring cleaning in the garden! We cleared the straw from the strawberry beds, cleared the brush from behind the tool shed and compost bin, cleared trash from the creek area behind the garden, and got our large picnic table scraped, sanded and painted. We also planted the communal herb garden. The garden looks spiffy and is ready for another great year.
Critter alert: The famous Ferguson moles have finally made their way to the garden. These uninvited guests tunneled through the communal potato bed and a few other individual plots. We'll have to wait a little longer to see how much they damaged and what needs to be replanted.
Thank you to our volunteers for the hard work and the delicious pot luck lunch. We look forward to our next garden workday which will be the 5th annual Children's Fun Day, the Saturday before Mother's Day. Happy gardening!!!
