Opening Day!




Yes! We are finally in the garden. This morning gardeners and volunteers came out to start clearing their plots and planting. With quite a bit of raking it looks downright respectable! We had plenty of space for everyone, including a couple of half-plots, plus a whole on open for anyone interested. (This resulted from my measuring yesterday afternoon in the heat. I managed to squeeze in an extra plot in the garden space.... yet another reason I'm a writer and not a mathmatician.) Whatever is not taken will be added to our effort to grow for the food bank and Meals on Wheels.

Despite toasty temps, everyone seemed excited to be there, and did a great job of preparing their areas. There are even a few organized souls who planted. The garden looks barren now, but will be lush and green before we know it.
