True to form, the garden is up and running now with a little warm weather. Stop by and see the hand of the Lord in action. At Lyman Jensen’s plot every thing that was planted is up and flourishing and competing intently with the evil forces of weeds and bugs. Chris Bailey’s corn patch has the first planting completed and awaits the second shortly.
The onions are responding well and the tips of green wave in the wind as the delicious bulbs beneath the surface increase in size and scrumpdidlialushness daily. The potatoes now resemble a thick dark green wave of undulating potato plants. The area between the rows have been tilled and hilled, while the area between plants are being choked by our life long nemesis, Captain field bind weed or morning glory. Pole beans, cucumbers, and winter squash all have broke the surface and are reaching for the sun literally. Transplanted tomatoes and pepper plants have withstood the initial transplant shock and are hitting their stride.
We are getting fairly good turn-outs for maintenance, but in order to keep ahead of things we need to seriously magnify our callings as stewards of the Paradise gardens. The following plan is in place to stay ahead of the count for the garden.
1. Regular scheduled weeding, planting, spraying and harvesting is regularly scheduled two times a week
A. The first is on Tuesday evenings at 7:00 PM
B. The second is every Saturday morning from 10:00 Am till 2:00 PM
2. Once you have learned the system, we encourage families and individuals to help out whenever it is convenient for them.
The ward leaders and the garden committee personally challenge every member in the ward to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to experience the Pure love of Christ in Action through your efforts. We promise you that you will be filled with the spirit and will be a part of a great force for good in the community.
The Bishop has sent out a call for someone to volunteer as ward photographer to chronicle the events of the garden.
