Beautiful Weekend = Busy Gardeners

The weather was fantastic this weekend and the garden was buzzing with excited gardeners playing int the dirt! I finally had the time to plant my seedlings. I feel like a kid on Christmas day every time I walk over to the tap to fill my watering can!!! Everyone's plot looks great! I am excited to see all the different methods and plants grow.

Happy Gardening!

GRAND OPENING SUCESS!

The grand opening was a HUGE success we had over 100 people visit the garden. A wealth of gratitude to all who came, made donations, signed up for plots, and volunteered their day and time.

We had yummy goodies, drinks and kids activities. Kim Norris' Brownie troop 5339 lead the kids activities with bubble blowing, coloring, pine cone bird feeders, and seed planting. It was a cold day but a great success!

Plots are sold out and we have a waiting list. Water will be running in the garden by next week. All plots are rototilled, and pathways are mulched.

Bounitful Harvest

Before the nasty buggers got my plants I was able to harvest some pumpkins and watermelon. The tomatoes are coming in by the basketful, and so delicious! Now that I have 10 less plants to water I have graduated to buckets with holes in the bottom for watering. They hold more water and the plants are already showing an improvement. The top picture of the watermelon is one that grew between the slats on the pallet and grew into the shape of an 8. It was ready the day I took this picture but had nothing to cut the slat with to get it out. Unfortunately I had missed my window of opportunity, when I returned the next day the watermelon had burst or been broken by someone or something. We were able to get one of these varieties that had orange flesh, it was delicious!
