April 26 Workday – What You Missed
The Community Gardens had their first workday on April 26 to start putting up the deer fence. About six people were on hand to do the actual work of digging the holes and putting up the fence posts. By noon, all the fence posts were up and ready for the final task of attaching the mesh fencing. At our next workday on April 30, we’ll be finishing the deer fence. Tall people are encouraged to attend for the height-sensitive work of stapling the fencing to the polls.
Nancy brought lots of seedlings and others brought seedlings and seeds. There were a variety of vegetables and flowers to sample.
Nancy also spent part of the workday cultivating the center plot (one of the garden common areas) and planting out strawberry plants. We’ll all enjoy nibbling on those, once they start to bear fruit.
In other good news, Joe and Carol loaned the garden their push mower. Dora mowed the perimeter of the garden and Chris mowed pathways. A permanent mower for the garden is still on the list.
