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

Logistics of Garden...

The bishop has asked the main players in last years garden to stimulate our curiosity and motivate many new individuals to sign up for the wonderful spiritual and bounteous feast

The ward garden was a success in many ways this past year and we have been getting a number of requests to continue and even improve on last years’. There have also been a number of members who have volunteered to take an active responsibility. Based on this feedback we are proposing the following structure.

Just a little background. There are two major plots. One is the area next to Lyman Jensen, which has a variety of produce. The other is an area behind Chris Bailey’s for corn.

Expected needs for this year’s garden will include seeds, plants, canning and freezer supplies, fertilizer, insecticide, reinforcement wire to stake up pole beans, tomatoes and cucumbers, sprinkler pipe replacements and repair and 20 poles to support the wire. Many of these items may be loaned, donated or discounted.

.The organization structure is proposed as follows: (these for the most part represent donated labor and free or discounted supplies.

A set of site coordinators for each garden
Bro. Woolfe and Bro Gill for the Jensen plot
Bro. Bailey and Bro Hebdon for the Bailey plot
Irrigation specialist Grant Grant Rawlins

Fertilizer, chemicals and soil amendment specialist Bro Faucette

Deep plowing Lee Nelson, Summers, and Chris Bailey

Smaller Tillers Gill, Woolf and Hebdon and others who may wish to assist
