Yesterday, six of the twelve 20/30 Vision Community Gardeners were able to get together for our Garden Prep Day. With the use of our borrowed roto-tiller, we were able to till, weed, and plant in less then 3 hours. We are quickly learning that there are many aspects of gardening that are foreign to us, so this whole endeavor is a bit of an experiment (and certainly and new experience) for all of us, but there is also something very exciting about learning how to grow food that we will eat...at least that is the goal!
A few "shout-outs" of thanks:
- Thank you to the Wong Family for the donation of their gas-powered roto-tiller. The use of this man-made marvel made our work much easier!
- Thanks to Stacy Whitley for ordering and picking up our seeds and seedlings from the local, organic farm in Natick, MA.
- Thanks to Yana Forney for making the run to Home Depot for our organic top soil and mulch.
- And, of course, many, many thanks to Reverend Pat and her family for allowing us to use the backyard of the parsonage for our garden. Without your generosity, this project would not be possible!
