The Work of a Mighty Crew

Our workday happened to fall on the last weekend for completing the infamous science projects- which probably explains the small group. Our size did not deter us, and we accomplished an impressive amount (and ate everyone else's share of bagels).

We moved all of the supplies up from the Ottortorium. 

We started sorting them.

We planted three thorn-less artichokes.

We installed drip irrigation in 10 of the 19 beds.

We planted and protected two trees- a fuyu persimmon (in the raised concrete entrance bed) and an apple (in the picnic grove). Thanks to Berkeley Horticultural Nursery for donating the apple and compost!

We all had fun and felt grateful for this new garden and a chance to work with Farmer Ben!
