well it was another beautiful sunday in the garden. we had sunny and dry weather. it was not hot. we had volunteers, thanks to nancy, gwen and joy. and we had my mother in law, linda. she was visiting from california and came out with us since she wanted to see the garden. not only did she tour the garden, she helped us relocate perennials to the new beds by the arbor. a big thanks to linda-she isn't even a member and she put in two hours!!!
the rain garden survived the deluge. if you look closely, you can see the lines from the overflow. lets hope we do not see that much rain in one weekend ever again!
the bunching onions that david planted in the junior bed are doing very well, despite the rain.
my log wall and lasagna beds also survived in tact but we do need to think about adding another rain garden.
here comes sarge from the horse barn. he is bringing over a load of manure for us to add to the vegetable garden. now that things are looking like we will not be doing the field day in june, we can work on truly improving the soil for the vegetable garden.

look out, falling manure!!!
pretty little iris-kaleidoscope
sedum in bloom
black gold-the leaf pile is worth its weight in gold if you dig down deep. it has completely composted and now it is wonderful black soil

we had fun this week and we had cake-banana nut to be exact. please come out and give us a hand sometime. now that david has been assigned to flood duty (farmers need him more than we do) and field day has been postponed, we are looking at doing the work ourselves. this means we need more volunteers! we hope to see you there, and i'll bring cake!!!
