Spring Planting Meeting

    The gardeners, vegetable plants and seeds were plentiful at the garden today. Sharing was the theme of the day and it was so much fun! We had over 21 gardeners attend today's meeting.  Our Directors had Elbon Rye grass seeds available for any gardener that has a nematode issue and we were reminded to not put to much mulch on our beds.  One to two inches, enough to cover the water grid is sufficient.

It is necessary to hand water your transplants for the first week and your seeds for as long as two weeks.  After this initial hand watering period our drip watering system will kick in and do its job.  It has been proven to work very well.

Our construction volunteers did a wonderful job building the ten newest beds and they are now all full of dirt as well!  A special thank you to JC Sanders Jr., Josh Beckham and Steven Matthews; who is home on leave from serving on the USS George Washington in Japan.  Gardeners that assisted were Bill Williams, Joseph Lenertz, Teri Goldsby, Pam Huffman and Family, Bernice Jackson and her brother Joe, Shawn and Catlin Carruth and Mark Henthorn.  Kudos to you all!

A HUGE thanks is also in order for two of our local businesses, Wal-Mart and Craigs Tires who donated to the garden this month as well as our own gardeners Jean Franks and Jeannine Solis.
   Can't wait to see everyone's gardens grow this Spring!
