Gardens are Planted

Pat Gill helps one of the gardeners.

Yesterday the Port Orange Community Gardens were planted!  There was a great turn-out, and most people got their gardens underway thanks to all the hard work Pat and Pearl contributed by readying the plots and plants over the last few months.  This was the 3rd Annual Planting Day, and with a blessing from Pastor Gary, everyone went to work digging and hoeing.  For some, this was their first year, others were seasoned gardeners with plenty of information and hints on how to get bumper crops from the garden plots.  Pat had hundreds of plants he started in his greenhouses in January, which were free to those that signed up.  Thanks to his superb effort, there were plenty of plants to go around.  There are a couple of plots left, so if you live in the area and would like to plant a garden please email Pat.

Today, everyone's garden looks pretty good.  All the little seedings seem to be beckoning the possible rain today, standing tall and sturdy.
