Summer Crops_Coming On Strong

Bountiful crops are, well, "cropping up" all over the Community Garden. Luscious tomatoes, tall corn, squash and other veggie delights are filling our baskets. THIS is what Friends Playing in the Dirt is all about!

Workday Fun for All

 Saturday morning  June 21st saw a bushel of gardener-volunteers eagerly "weeding" and building/installing 11 new planting beds. While a beautiful morning, it was around 140-degrees with humidity in the high 99% range. Yuk!! Everyone was really dragging after a short time. Never-the-less the new planting beds were carefully installed. Also, a mountain of nasty weeds were hand-yanked from around the garden. A few brave souls whacked more of the pine saplings that threaten to shade our garden.

 Thanks to ALL who made this such a successful workday.







How much FUN 
weeding can be!
