Garden
Dirt (over 1000 lbs)
Finished Raised Beds
Front Loader picking up cinder blocks
This past week was very busy! We went to the local grocery stores and farmer's markets to ask the managers/farmers if they were willing to give us their pre-consumer waste (i.e. old vegetables/fruits) for the compost bin. We also drove around the town of Greensboro collecting leaves and twigs that can also be added to our compost bin.
This week we all continued to clean up the pavilion. Lydia, Spence, and I sought out a gentleman named John who allowed us to use his front loading tractor to load up the cinder blocks around the site and Pam's dad took it in his dump truck to a local site. This was an entertaining day indeed!
Rennie completed the second raised bed this past week. Lydia and I helped screw the cedar boards into the second raised bed. I look forward to planting vegetables into the beds!
I was amazed at how much the vegetables grew while I was away. Lydia added lime to the larger sunken bed. The tomato bed is still looking a bit rough... we added lime today.
Funny little side note... Lydia and I knocked on a random house and a little boy answered. I asked him for some water and he proceeds to RUN three trailers down and scream to his mom... "Mommah!!! Mommah!!! White girls want our water." She screams, "WHAT?!?! What you mean boy?" It was funny. Maybe you had to be there.
I will write more about the current week soon. There is lots to tell!
