Saturday, May 29th was the start of another 20/30 Vision Community Garden season. Thanks to all who were able to show up. We were able to weed, till, fertilize (with our own compost!), plant, water, and organize the tools in 2 short hours! What a great team!
This year's garden promises a great harvest. The soil is looking fertile and healthy. The iris (thanks to last year's bulb fairy) and the hearty amount of weeds that were growing (now pulled!) indicate that (1) the garden is more healthy, and (2) the garden is getting more sun.
Summer 2009 promises a harvest of peas, beans, carrots, radish, grape and vine tomato, green zebra heirloom tomatoes, basil, strawberry, green to red peppers, carmen hot peppers, squash, lettuce, pickling cukes and regular cucumbers! OH MY!
Also, thanks to the work of 20/30's, especially Yana and Talya, we were able to raise $35.25 by selling our extra organic seedlings at last Saturday's Strawberry Festival. All of the money will go to offset the cost of this summer's gardening expenses.This is an exciting time, gardeners! Thanks for your interest and support this summer.
