Out like a lamb...

After a beautifully sunny (albeit windy) weekend, and 76 contributor hours in the work log, the garden is well on its way. In addition to lettuce and radishes, 200 feet of spinach has been sown. Hopefully the wind will subside by the time those tender little spinach leaves get big enough to care. Potatoes have been cut for planting and should be in the ground this week. On the maintenance front, volunteers diligently removed more rocks from the second half of the garden, which has also been ripped, graded and amended with topsoil.  More beds will be established following a healthy helping of compost. A fence has also been built on the west side of the site to keep the prolific deer from helping themselves to the salad bar.
