Let's get gardening! The community garden will officially be open for the season tomorrow morning at 9am. Short notice, but the weather and farm staff helped us out, and we all want to garden as soon as possible!
Some things to consider: There's no rush to get in. I will be around the garden as much as I can this next week and weekend, to help people get oriented and get started. The church across the street is celebrating Eastern Orthodox Easter tomorrow, so parking will be very tight -- it may be easier to find parking after 3pm tomorrow. You may briefly park in the circle drive to drop off plants & supplies, but you may not park there while you are planting in the garden. I will post a garden map with plot assignments on the bulletin board right outside the garden -- doublecheck to be sure you're planting in the correct plot. Be considerate of other gardeners and do not walk through anyone else's plot.
Check out the blog in the next few days to meet Deb Kepler, a Master Gardener who will be volunteering with us this summer. She's helping me mark plots today, and she's looking forward to meeting all of you.
A big shout-out to Jeff and Andres, the farm staff who readied the plots by tilling and fertilizing. Another shout-out to John, Harry & Kirsten, the gardener volunteers who spent this morning pounding in the plot corner stakes. With the help of these guys and Deb, we wouldn't be able to take advantage of the nice weather coming our way.
See you in the garden!
