Update!

What a productive few weeks.   On April 23rd we were able to plant most of the garden.  Since then it has been a joy watching all the little seedlings come up!  This past Saturday Carolyn's sister came to help and did an amazing job clearing ivy off of our garden shed and setting up our rain barrels in anticipation of gutters and a rain shower! Thank's to Carolyn and Tara we now have 3 rain barrels ready to go.  Kirsten spent some time weeding the paths and Matt came in the afternoon to mulch them so no weeds will get through! I bet they'll find a way though!

We have come such a long way since having the idea for the community garden, but there are still a few things we need. Let us know if you are willing to donate.  Here is a list!

Hand tools (all types)
Garden gloves
Tomato cages
Garden rake
Mulch
Scale (10 lbs at least)
Tiller
Supplies for a compost system
lumber for cold frames
Straw bales

Thanks!
Kirsten
