Where has the time gone?  The month of May seems to have flown by and the garden is starting to really take shape.  With the help of Mike Murphy, Cal Jenson, and Sandy Jenson, we completed the lattice wall to conceal the compost bin & rain barrels.  We have planted the following:

Raddishes
Beets
Peas
Lettuce
Spinach
Carrots
Eggplant
Summer Squash
Cucumbers
Pole beans
Cabbage
Collards
Kale
Onions
Garlic
Chives
Oregano


We hoped that we were going to get by for a while without the bunny fence, but suddenly they discovered the tender pea shoots and ate them practically down to the ground.  Today Sandy and I spent some time putting up the bunny fence and setting up the automatic watering system.  We will monitor it closely to make sure the beds are receiving plenty of water.

It seems that no news is NOT good news in the case of the do.town grant.  I am aware that MIRA received an award of a smaller amount than they requested due to lots of applications coming in.  This does not hinder our mission, however.  We will still be able to plant some container tomatoes and peppers to complete our variety of plants.  I am somewhat disappointed, but I know there are plenty of great agencies working for the greater good and I'm sure it is being put to good use. 

Hope to see you in the garden soon!  Thanks for your support.
