We have started

It is hard to believe that it is time to start the garden.  Last Saturday we had our first garden workday where we spread out the compost, got the plots marked off, planted some squash, and planted some flowers.  On the 16th we will plant the rest of the garden.

On the lot across from our house we have 9 households, and it is really cool that every household on our street is part of the garden.  The other lot, 1 block north of Broadway, has 7 households, all about a block from that garden.  Total between the two gardens we have 16 households.  Also each garden will have a community plot where anyone for the community can harvest food.

Most of us are first time gardeners, but we do have a few experienced farmers among us, who show us what to do.
