Out at Potter Valley we are starting to get really excited about our Community Garden. What was just an idea several months ago is now finally starting to look like something. During the Spring Garden Blitz we used our wonderful volunteers to rip up some nasty crabgrass that was in a bed in
front of the building so that we can plant some wonderful vegetables and herbs. The work proved to be really taxing, because our shovels had a hard time penetrating the tangle of crabgrass that we found, which was made worse by the black plastic we discovered underneath the grass. But through hard work we cleared the spa
ce, and now have a nice bed set up in front where our kids have begun to plant. Unfortunately, the weather we’ve had the past 2 weeks has prevented us from marking out beds in our big space, but now that it’s nice again, we’re hoping to move forward quickly. You know what they say, April Showers bring May Flowers…so we are hoping we’ll have some nice flowers to show for it by May. Thanks to all of our great volunteers who came out to help for the Garden Blitz!
