Long day but a fun one
The weather was awesome -- started a bit on the cool side but warmed up nicely.
There were even more people this week than last and the workshop with Chuck McClung was a veritable brain dump of great information on figuring out your microclimate, what to look for when buying plant starts, watering techniques, trellising and training, etc... A lot was covered in two hours.
It turns out that we had just the right amount of topsoil and Llama poop -- we did the remaining two 40*5 beds and ran out of Llama poop and only have about a yard of soil left. Since we are also using 1/2 barrels for 'maters and squash, the remaining soil will be perfect for these. Also, the sod pile is now huge and will be an awesome source of topsoil for next season.
Now I have to unload the truck, bring the tractor back home, crack open a beer or three and relax (an ibuprofen will be going down my gullet too...).
Pictures will be online at the
Maple Falls Community Garden website in a day or two.
