The garden is going. On Thursday the 7th a brave crew of ward gardeners planted the potatoes and the onions at Lyman Jensen's plot.
At noon on Saturday the 9th we will plant the first installment of corn at the same plot subsequent plantings of corn will be two weeks later.
There will be opportunities for planting and weeding every Saturday at noon from now on. On the 16th we will plant the first installment of corn at Chris Baileys. and subsequent plantings every two weeks.
On the 23rd we will plant pole beans and cucumbers and cover the squash and tomato area with black plastic to warm the soil. On the 30th we will plant tomatoes, squash and peppers at Jensen's and another installment of corn at Baileys.
As we get into the swing of things we can firm up weeding by hand within rows and between row tilling assignments. The success to any garden is keeping ahead of the weeds. We will need to fertilize corn, tomatoes and squash during the season and also be watchful of insects and diseases that may need to be dealt with. Harvest and processing will also be scheduled as the season progresses.
Make it part of your summer plans to be a part of this great project.
Brother Hebdon will be helping us with scheduling. Please let him know if you would like to help and be notified of the assignments
Thanks for all you do.

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

So now that you have made it to the blog, I am very proud of you. This is where we will keep the most current information concerning the garden so if you are wondering what is going on, all you have to do is visit the blog. At the top is the name of this project, the right column is filled with links and other features that you can browse through, then the left (or centerish) section is where there will be posts about garden stuff and pictures of our gardening progress. Don't worry about missing a post because they just move down as I add new one's.
Now, I want everyone that wants to follow this blog to go to the followers section that is in the right hand column and down a little bit. First step is to click on the follow button and it will take you through a few other steps. Basically what following is, is that everyone who visits this blog can see who else is a member following this blog. So you can choose what you would like to do.
Next, if you are reading about something on the blog and have a comment about it (or a comment about anything really) then all you have to do to share it is click on the comment button. The comment button is located below each post so that you can comment on whichever post your comment pertains to. We welcome questions in the comment section as well and answers to the questions will be posted in the comment section too. Now, when you are leaving a comment, the steps are fairly simple. Once you have done it once, you will be a seasoned comment leaver. Step 1...click comment button...Step 2...type comment in box...Step 3...leave your name at the bottom of comment (or not, whatever you choose)...Step 4...click the circle next to the word anonymous...Step 5...click publish your comment. For those of you that have blogs, you can use your google/blogger ID or whatever it is.
