Happy Gardening...

We have created this blog to keep everybody up to date and informed about the Paradise 4th Produce a Plenty Project. We would love everyone to add pics to the blog so email them to me with a description or story to go along with it and I will update the blog so everyone else can enjoy the progress and fun experiences of the garden. My email is barrelracingbina@yahoo.com. Thanks Sabrina Whalen

Simplification and expansion of gardens revision4/15/2009



After visiting Lyman Jensen and seeing the garden site he is making available, we are suggesting some changes in the master plan to simplify and expand our resources. Lyman has a plot that can be utilized which is about 65 feet wide and 330 feet ling. We have decided to use this block for most of the ward garden. There is a place for a permanent irrigation pipe and the land is centrally located and easily accessible.

Tentative plans are to have four and possibly five sections or gardens.

Garden 1
Pole beans, cucumbers and winter squash. 60 feet by 30 feet, 100 feet of pole beans 50 feet of cucumbers, and 35 hills of winter squash.

Garden 2
Onions: 12 rows 40 feet by 60 feet
200 feet each of red onions, white onions and yellow onions for a total of 600 feet

Garden 3

Potatoes: 20 rows 60 feet by 60 feet. 200 feet each of Pontiac, Norland, Kennebec, Yukon Gold, and Sandy Wiebe's favorite, for a total of 1000 feet


Garden 4
Tomatoes and peppers. Eight rows of tomatoes for a total 90 plants two rows of peppers for 40 plants

Possible Garden 5
Corn. 30 rows of late maturing corn and 10 rows of early maturing corn for a total of 2000 feet.
You might want to keep your eyes on this plot and watch and help it grow and prosper. Round up and tilling will be shortly upon us and planting is not far behind. Many hands and hearts will be needed to make this truly the Garden of Eden, West. You, your families, friends and community members will be blessed beyond their wildest expectations if they put their might mind and strength into this powerful force for good. May God bless us all and thank you all for your commitments and support, Brother Gill
