Saturdays Progress (4/10/2010)

Today was a GREAT day !!  I met with a fence guy, whom I gave my measurements to and he said he'd get back to me on a price.  Patty brought in a van full of soil...

Amy Pruitt & Rainey Orr brought in some veggies for me to plant...

And thanx to Ms Clark for giving us a Colonial Pecan Tree, and thanx to James Jackson for diggin the hole and planting it.  It will eventually be a nice shade tree as well as providing pecans.

We've gotten a few donations since we made the paper Friday... cedar post for a fence, tomato stands, bricks & we still have assorted lumber.  If you wish to bring anything and leave it, please be sure to not block the bumpster.

While the MOW Carwash was goin on I added 4 garden squares, Big Jim Peppers, Big Boy Tomatoes, Okra, and a mystery veggie (I'm hopin its a veggie).  I got some peach tree tips and later in the day I got a lesson on composting, hay in the garden and organic soil.

Apparently hay in the garden reduces weeds and hold moisture in the soil.  Neither of these things I knew before today.  James & I spread out hay that we received today after this lesson.

So the tractor tire is now a compost.  So bring in your peelings, tea/coffee, etc.  And thro 'em in the tire. 

So all in all it was a pretty good day.  I got a bit of a sunburn on my arms, face and neckline... now if only I could get my ghost white legs tanned... ;-}

Happy Gardening, still excited, Beth
