Many thanks to Christopher Diggins, Hanna Diggins, Eve Carty, Brian England, Ebey England, Judy Furukawa, Shanti Loustaunou, Johanna Marcus, Margaret O'Brien, Shirley Tinkler, and Loretta Wilson. We made the east/west cross paths.Peas will be planted in the north bed along the future fence line.The last box beds were set into place. Now we need the topsoil to fill them!21 beds were created, with 23 more in the works. We also finished planting the raspberries on the west side of the garden where this path leads to. Future U-Pick!Lime and organic fertilizer were spread and worked into the soil.The day before this Saturday work party, Wayne Morrison removed three stumps with his backhoe, clearing the south east corner of the garden so that we can build a three-bin compost system and install the fence.March 4th we begin our weekly "Wednesday is Good Cheer garden day" work party.  Come for as long or short as you can from 9 - noon, and 1 - 4 pm with a picnic lunch in between.We're also starting the fence next Friday, March 6th!
