To say the garden was muddy would be an understatement (note the boots below), but we were still able to get a lot of work done. Here's what we did:
- laid out weed control fabric
- planted a ring of buckwheat for groundcover
- put up the first of two deer fences
- added flower seeds (nasturtium and sunflowers)
- reapplied Liquid Fence deer repellant
Most of the seeds have sprouted, too, which is very exciting to see. Even with all of that done, there is still a lot to accomplish this Thursday. In particular, we need to add straw between the weed cover and add more straw to create a couple of paths at the ends of the garden. We'll also need to set up the 8' posts for the bean trellis and the outer deer fence. So if you do have even a little time on Thursday, we really hope you'll come out. I'll be there at 6pm but have to leave for a little bit for choir practice before I return.
