December 7, 2012 First Workday!
Today, 50-plus enthusiastic gardeners gathered to begin development of the newly established
Sun City Peachtree Community Garden.
Rakes were flailing, shovels were prodding and poking, rock filled
buckets being dumped, and the construction crew was hard at work making
those beautiful raised beds. The chief designer stayed busy getting the
raised beds carefully placed. In all, the first forty raised beds were
completed. It was a thing of beauty!
The only downside...expect some sore muscles in the morn.

| "Experts", building planting bed frames. |
 |
| The "muscle men" toting planting bed frames. |
 |
| The "engineers" carefully placing our FIRST planting bed. |
 |
| Forging ahead....only 39 more planting beds to go. |
 |
| The "check-in" lady. |
 |
| We removed HOW MANY ROCKS from the garden site??? |
 |
| Mr. Tiller prepares soil for grass seed outside the fence. So the deer have SOMETHING to eat. |

Fence Installation - We Found "Little Stone Mountain" on One End of Site!
 |
| The fence installers arrive...this should be easy and quick. |
 |
| Oops! This is solid rock! Not as easy and quick as we thought! |
 |
| Enough rock drilling. We're gonna move this fence. |
November 11, 2012 Bobcat Work - "Tweaking" the Grade
 |
| Smoothing the soil...getting ready for farming. |
 |
