Benefits of Irrigation

Once the hard work of digging trenches was done the irrigation went in quickly as did the planting up of all the rows. A few weeks later the garden began to florish and continues to grow rapidly. As of July 8th The Salvation Army food pantry has been blessed with over 69 lbs. of kale, 9 lbs. of lettuce, 16 lbs. of cabbage, 23 lbs. of spinich, 13 lbs. of peas, 4 lbs. of radishes and a small variety of other veggies from the garden. The harvest is only just begun so watch this space.

Workday Progress

The expansion of our community garden has brought extra challenges this year but good team work has made it possible for much progress to be made. As the sweltering heat of summer keeps me indoors this afternoon I can finally take the time to sort through the photos taken so far this year. It is wonderful to see the progress of our garden through these photos. May through June was a very busy time tilling the soil, adding composts, planting out seedlings and seeds. Keeping up with the weeding, as always, is a huge ongoing task. The results of everyone's hard work is more than words can say so I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
