GARDENING NEWS FROM THE SOURCE




Hi Gang: Our veggies may be behind Chuck's "banana-belt" garden, but they're growing as fast as they can! Chuck visited Tuesday to bolster our spirits, and he didn't mention once how much higher his peas have grown! This week Allison's grandson Tristan joined our team, and put his youthful energy and enthusiasm into hilling the potatoes and leeks, and weeding as well - thanks, Tristan. We look forward to you joining us again. Rae showered us with goodies - she does treat us well - and tried her best not to fit into the photo. Faithful June added again to
our compost, and we wonder each week how it turns to soil so quickly. We all weeded, and some of us thinned beets, and picked rhubarb, spring greens and radishes. Today Sue transplanted cabbages and kohlrabi to the last remaining free spots, and potted some up in hopes of them being adopted out - these seeds surprised us by all germinating so well.Carrying on being inspired by Jo-Lynn to dig in the dirt - what a blessing she is to us all - Sue
