This last Wednesday was another volunteer day at the garden -- this time we didn't get rained out! Anne Knoll had a crew of people who put gorilla mulch in the shade garden. Adam Kemna generously lent us his truck, then Robert Young and Lisa Tannahill helped Anne get the mulch spread out all over the shade garden. (photo) Anne fixed the drip irrigation and Liz Slokar set the timer for us (yes, we were mystified) then took our weedy waste away to Western Disposal to add to their commercial compost. Michelle Crandell and Steve Balgooyen joined us to cover the front common area with mulch. Later, Paul Weiss worked into the dark putting compost on the raspberries (which are starting to ripen!)
Thank you, all!
I am going off to Yellowstone for a week. There will be no official work day next week, but we will be back on the eighth. In the meantime if you want to pitch in, you could: spread several inches of that mountain of mulch on our paths and common areas, turn the compost, pull or weed-whack the many weeds, put compost on the grapes, pick up garbage, or tend the herb garden or orchard on the east side. For details ask Judy Slack or Anne Knoll.
