There was a lot of activity at the garden; Blanca, Els, Solange, Mark P., Laura, Susan, Linda H.,
and Marcelo were in attendance. Activities included planting new vegetables, weeding, adding soil to
the potatoes, turning the compost, cleaning the area behind the
fence and drip irrigation planning.
One of the big topics of the day was getting ready for the installation of the drip irrigation system. A contractor (5 Brothers) will be doing the work on Wednesday and we need to figure out where to locate the spigot. The gardeners met with Dave Person (who has been helping us figure out the technical details and coordinate with the church) and showed him two different spots we thought would be
good for the faucet. We market both spots with sticks and thought 5 Bros. could
pick the one they thought would be better for running the irrigation
system. Susan and Solange will be at the garden on Wednesday at about 9:30 to go over some of the
details.
Marcelo also gave Molly, from the food pantry, 8 heads of lettuce that were ready
for harvest.
