I hosted the first group out at the garden today; 2\42 Community Church. It was one of their ServeFest days where small groups go out into the community and do community service. I really enjoy working with this group. It has families with children (and I love kids in the garden) and they join in the fun helping and learning, and the group in general happily does anything I ask of them. Weed my strawberries? No problem. Add wheelbarrows full of heavy, wet compost to the rows? No problem (see the wheelbarrow in middle right edge of the photo?)
Some of the children helped me plant two rows of peas. I have
Avalanche snow peas and
Sugar Sprint snap peas planted this year. The group also helped plant
Boldor golden beets,
Merlin red beets, and one of my personal favorites,
Bright Lights rainbow swiss chard.
Shovel more wood chips on the paths? No problem we can do that! Fix the roof that lost its shingling materials this spring? We can do that too! Lots of odds and ends jobs were tackled this morning by a wonderful group! Good spring garden day. And the rain stayed away for the most part!
Just some of the 30-plus volunteers that helped out today. Thank you 2\42 Community Church!
