A Short Day...

We had to do a better job at assigning jobs. This took a long time so we didn't get to work very long because we have short schedule periods on Fridays.

On Friday we added more wood chips to soggy areas.
We also weeded and raked a couple beds.
Some corn got collected also.

Sunny Colored Corn.



Our bounty continues to grow!



Fidel hauling wood chips so dry out soggy places



Today we removed a lot of plants that went to seed. We harvested 10 ears of corn also! We also moved 10 wheelbarrows full of wood chips and recovered some pumpkins that people took from the vines.

Mr Hoover planted a winter crop in his garden and students helped him plant the seeds such as Sninach, alaskan peas, radishes, carrots, arugula.

 It was such a nice day that people actually got sweaty and a little tired towards the end.

Mr. Hoover showed us how to plant seeds for a winter garden

Today we harvested and a lot of beans and potatos and cucumbers and removed a lot of weeds.

Today was a very nice sunny day and we got to talk to a man from the assisted living center across the street.

Weeders Talon and Jaiden hard at work.

His name was Andy and he was 89 years and he said that if he is still alive next year he would like to rent a bed to grow little red potatoes for his lovely wife.

We still have a lot of garden cleaning up to do and Mr. H said he would bring some winter seeds to plant also. Ms. Sheridan will bring garlic to plant also.
