Dear Gardeners,
If you’ve been by the garden lately you’ll have noticed a small mountain in the east garden. It’s dirt–very nice, rich dirt, that we ordered last week. It all, or most, has to go to the west garden in time to clean up for the fall fest. It’s a very big mountain. Alan & Susan spent several hours today hauling dirt and they hardly made a dent. This is a case where we really, really need everyone in the garden to help. Especially if you’re signed up to work on communal beds, this is your time to shine.
This will not all get done in one workday even if it doesn’t rain (which it might}. Any time you can give this week will help–stop by after work and haul a couple of wheelbarrow fulls to the west garden.
We’ll mark a central dumping spot and leave the wheelbarrows out by the mountain. You’ll just need to get a shovel from one of the sheds. You can even take small loads to ease the back aches–every little
bit helps. This is doable if everyone pitches in.
