Running on Two Cylinders

So the Green Fair at the church was a success. The community plot for growing food for local food banks (Healthy Food for Healthy Families) received good interest and people have signed up for week long responsibilities for weeding, watering and harvesting. We were also able to construct a second compost bin for the church, and have had some interest in a smaller version :) If others are interested let me know!

My wife is getting on me regarding sticking to topic... I tend to dwell into details. Here's the various front status: The Home Front - raspberries have been pruned mid-Feb. to encourage growth and dead canes have been pulled. Lettuce has been planted in ground and in cells (though the in-ground hasn't sprouted and the cells have) carrots have also ben planted. Tomatoes, mystery squash and spinach have been started indoors, and we have also invest in a baker's rack on the screened porch to move the seed starting outside.

On the church plots: prep work in turning over the soil has been worked on for the personal plot - as it had more weeds. An inherited clump of onion family plants have been divided and replanted in the prepped soil. The HF4HF plot has been expanded with additional soil area being turned over and the previous year's garlic has been weeded (you can see it to the left of the compost bins above).

Again probably focusing on details, but there's alot of work still yet to be done!
