It's spring and we are very excited about the beginning of a new season! We met the other day to check on the garden after a long hiatus. Our new volunteers Erica and Lawrence helped to weed and straighten out the trellises.

mmmm....cob....
we have updated our work list / wish list for this year:
- line raised beds with plastic to help prevent rot-lawrence thinks he has some plastic hanging around
- fill beds with soil and compost - lawrence is checking with his uncle to try to get some from his organic acerage
- organize a cob-building workshop for a tool shed- vicky is connecting with mudgirls for this.
- buy compost aerator - $10 from City Farmer
- find someone who can help us make mosaic stepping stones
- find a barrel to make a 'vat-o-spuds'
- make sustainable, waterproof signs and labels
- construct small wooden blocks to protect sprinklers in beds
- find material for metal trellises (nylon mesh?)
