The rain this week really gave every one's garden a boost in growth! A good group of gardeners were out today working their plots. Pat brought some new plants over, and was busy adding bamboo, turning soil, and doing general maintenance on the last available plots. A couple of the ladies helped spread the bags of leaves in the pathways that Pat brought over. As the leaves settle, they should help keep the weeds down as Spring progresses into Summer. If you notice weeds popping up in the pathway around your garden, please pull them or dig them out, as they WILL encroach on the all the gardens before you can say "Summer is here"!
So, start pulling little weeds now, before they cover your plot.
In a week or so, those that planted romain or other lettuce leaf plants can start taking the outer leaves for your salad! Be sure to leave the center clump of leaves so the plant can continue to have surface area for photosynthesis! Outer spinach leaves can also be pinched off for eating. The plants will continue to grow.

Hoping her blessings will
find their way to my garden, also! |
Plots 26 and 27 added some nice touches to their trellises and plot 19 has a delightful Guardian Angel for their plot.
The gardens are looking good!
