Big Challenge

This Saturday is a big challenge to see how we tackle the ward garden project. Because of scheduling of the Ward camp out next week and the need to get the garden caught up we have a need for a good turnout this Saturday.

Among other things we plan to plant the pole beans, cucumbers, squash and peppers in the front section of the garden.We also need to plant the second section of corn. And we have a big tomato planting also needed. All of this will be done at Lyman's place.

We hope to have the sprinkler pipe in place so we can give the garden a good watering when we finish. I have been told that there is a Primary function that morning at 10:00 I am encouraging folks who need to attend that meeting to join us at 8:00 or 8:30. You may need to bring hoes, shovels and rakes. I have found that those bulb planters that pull out a plug of dirt about 21/2 inches wide and about three inches deep are handy for transplanting small plants. Shovels also work. We will have the plants, seeds and panels available.
An update: Onions are in and thriving. Potatoes are in and not up yet. The first planting of corn is surfacing. The poles for the pole beans are in and the panel material is on site. Oh and by the way, weeds are starting to surface and we will soon need to be addressing that as well. I expect we will need at least a weekly weeding project.

This should be a great experience. Hope to see you.

Remember to be saving your one gallon empty milk cartons and nursery pots in the case we have a late frost to protect the plants.
