on the 11th, we had a work day and we owe a big thanks to: turner simons, chuck hutsell, donna haggitt, edie crane and tamra simmons. if you don't see your name on that list, you didn't sign in so be sure you send me an email with your name and the hours that you worked so i can record them, garden4groceries@bellsouth.net and also so i can add your name to the list above! because it was the day before easter and i happen to work in a very busy restaurant, i couldn't be there on saturday but darry and i did come back out on sunday.
the blueberries in the old experimental garden are in full bloom and since darry pruned them, maybe we will get a better crop this summer.
darry and i spent sunday cleaning out the junior master gardener's beds so that they will be ready for a load of new soil.
david cook has redesigned the colorwheel garden and the beds have been moved to make space for a rain garden. we hope to get that built on our next scheduled work day, stay tuned in for details on that date.
all of the raised beds are cleaned out and ready for this years theme, a kitchen herb garden.
the little hibiscus bed has been cleaned, mulched and some perennials were relocated to it.
the old wild flower garden will be relocated and the space allowed to go back to being part of the lawn. plants in here will be relocated and some will be split and sold during the field day event.
the little buckeye will stay in it's space and hopefully grow up to be big and beautiful.
