The Sun Came Out Today!

Today was a beautiful day in the garden, and we had a good turn out of volunteers to help us.  The 5th grade Girls Scout troop had about 6 girls come out and help today.  They harvested a bunch of strawberries and then helped us weed a bit.

Another family came out and help me finish the trellis for the pole beans.  It is finished just in time too, because those beans are really growing with the rain and sunshine!  We had to encourage a few plants to grab on to the trellis, but most sensed that support and began climbing with little encouragement from us!

The group from Excel came out today and continued working on their row.  We put us some stakes to support their pole beans, and added some stakes for their tomato and pepper plants too.  Their day was finished off by weeding. 

And finally, some hard core volunteers and I began weeding the cucumbers and cantaloupe plants.  I'm going to run the rototiller in the walkway tomorrow.
