what a beautiful weekend for gardening!

We spent many hours this weekend planting basil, lettuce, chard, tomatoes and beets. We also had an impromptu cookout with bratwurst and hotdogs and it was terrific! We are already looking forward to the harvest time! Always looking to eat and have fellowship! Our thanks to Hanson, Anne, Ted, Will, Jackie, Sara, Janey, Christopher, Jim..........and Ginger the dog!

A perfect Memorial Day Weekend in the Garden

A beautiful weekend with perfect weather and lots of progress. We planted basil, chard, lettuce, tomatoes, and beets. And thanks to Anne and Ted Edwards, we had a cookout with bratwurst and hot dogs! Impromptu and really fun. I think we may have started something here! It is so exciting to be at this point - we're already anticipating a harvest party!

Thursday, May 7

Another great day in the garden. We have a new appreciation of the hard work needed and are indebted to Hanson! Today we planted zucchini......onions were already planted by Hanson.....we continue to remove rocks and we set up the first of 3 compost containers (from Arlington County). We watered the first plants. We're hoping to get a delivery of horse manure (a gift) soon. And anxiously await rain!
