A big thank you to BUY THE YARD for the new soil to fill the L-Shaped garden bed. Another big thank you to all the families that came out to help weed the garden, harvest some of the crops, and move the soil. The kids were such a big help and had lots of fun in the garden.
Hello Everyone!
Good news... you know that great new raised bed that was recently built in the garden that needs more dirt for planting?? Kathy Wicks of Buy the Yard generously donated a yard of dirt to the Gilbert Garden ... to be delivered tomorrow, Tuesday July 29th! Although we will also be weeding, watering, and harvesting, our focus at tomorrow's 6:00 pm Garden Club gathering will be moving that dirt into the raised bed. Should be fun. :) Hope to see you there! Mrs. Shawver Hi Everyone,
I am looking forward to our garden gathering tonight at 6:30. We will work on returning most of the bricks to give the fast growing 3 sister's garden more space. We will also work on weeding. Lastly we can check what is ready to harvest! See you all tonight, The new L-Shaped raised garden bed is complete. It just needs to be filled with garden soil.
Today we weeded and spread mulch all throughout the garden with lots of work from everyone. The kids were a huge help with shoveling and driving the wheelbarrow. We then harvested a lot of lettuce and other vegetables for salads. Thanks everyone for a beautiful and sunny Tuesday evening of gardening. |
