Hello and Happy L'ag B'Omer!
A few of us worked at Gan Yarok today. Alex, Emma, Naomi and Leora Mallach all came by to take care
of a number of really important tasks.
Here is what was accomplished:
We purchased salt marsh hay and are in the midst of mulching the entire planted part of the garden. The salt marsh hay will keep our plants cool and moist on hot days and hopefully delay the growth of the weeds.
We expect to have a darker mulch to cover the garden paths. (Thank you to Vicky and Alex Lyons!)
We need to line the paths with the mulch and we are looking for volunteers. Please let me know if you can come and spread mulch. It shouldn't take more than 45 minutes tops.
We put in the flower garden. I will be at the garden at about 4:30 tomorrow (Thursday, 5/26) and expect to put in a number of herbs to add to the flower garden. Feel free to join me. I'll be there for about 45 minutes.
We planted the potatoes. We are opening up two new rows for planting over the next few days.
We got our hosing installed. (yeah!)
We inspected the periphery of the garden for any pests who might have dug holes to sneak in and munch on our plants. No diggers yet! Everyone who has signed up for the garden should inspect the fence each time you come by to water.
Good news! We have someone to design our garden signage! (More on this in a later post.)
Our first week of tending the garden begins on Sunday, May 29th. It looks like David Wilensky and Susan Megerman are our first workers. We'll have the garden ready for you!
Last, thank you to those of you who donated hoses. Sara and Susan, the hosing amount worked out perfectly!
Have a wonderful L'ag B'Omer.
See you in the garden!
Leann
