One row of pollinator flowers, 2 rows okra, 1 row cukes, 1 row summer squashes, 3 rows peppers, 1 row tomatilla’s, 4 rows tomatoes, ?16 rows beans, and we cleaned up 6 raised beds and planted them with ground cherries, cabbages, sweet potatoes and tomatoes. Everyone worked so hard together. We were all enchanted with our youngest members and how excited they are about planting the garden and how amazingly helpful and diligent they were. We had three work nights last week and by the end of the week we had planted 2 fields of corn, another field of beans, cleaned up and planted our large tubs with beans, moved mulch into the high tunnels and probably things I’ve forgotten.
We’ve been eating massive amounts of lettuce, greens, radishes, asparagus, onions and peas from our early spring plantings. Both our bodies and souls are fed through this wonderful community garden with food, exercise, knowledge and FRIENDSHIPS all of which I’m deeply grateful.
