Community Garden Update


Rain Rain Go Away!


Garden MANAGER Kari Keever has decreed that a large tree branch shading several garden beds must go. Consequently, LABOR will appear as soon as the rain disappears. Anyone interested in the preservation of the tree branch in its current state should contact Kari as soon as possible. We are mindful of Longfellow's command “Woodman, spare that tree!” in his poem, Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree.

With the exception of Dan’s okra and a short row of sunflowers, most of the plants and seeds seem to have survived our weeks of rain. Jennifer’s wild flower and annuals beds are looking great, however, and the Turners have turned out to be surprisingly adept at vegetable farming—their cabbages may be credible candidates for the County Fair.

A long dose of sunshine is necessary and the weather people have predicted some for next week. Let us pray.
