Work Moving Along in Potter valley

The Potter Valley Youth and Community Center Garden is starting to look good as we begin our first growing season! We just installed our drip irrigation, and this being the first time I had ever installed drip irrigation, I felt a lot of satisfaction getting everything set up with just a little bit of outside help. Thanks to the wonderful work of our Garden Coordinator Mary Essenbock, as well as the kids in the summer program, most of our starts have now been planted. We’ve got all kinds of things going in; tomatoes, peppers, artichokes, pumpkin, peas, lettuce and some flowers to make everything come together. Some of the peas and lettuce that we planted in window boxes are a little further along, and will probably be the first things to yield produce. Our next steps are trying to get some wood-chips to mark off our pathways, and to put some stakes in the ground for some tomatoes as they start to come up. Other than that, everything is going great! Hope everyone else can say the same,
