The Community Garden is being prepared for fall. Basically, this involves three tasks: 1) weeding and cleaning rocks from beds; 2) Applying a deep application of mulch for water and weed containment, and; 3) planting a fall cover crop like oats or vetch. Be sure to stop by and check out our progress.
We have the Community Garden about 1/3 mulched and about 3/4 weeded. It is starting to look pretty good. The mulch pile pictured above has disappeared, and as soon as another pile shows up we'll continue. Once the Community garden is fully mulched and weeded we'll move on to the Little Sprouts' Garden.
Thank you, everyone, who donated their cardboard boxes to the garden. If you have more, bring them over to the church and just toss them over the fence. We'll take them from there.
Working in the garden is a real blessing and helps our gardeners structure their days along a commonly recommended Christian way of structuring a Christian lifestyle: reading and studying holy books, prayer and meditation and, manual labor. We are grateful that fellow Disciples have given us this wonderful opportunity.
