Community Garden plows ahead for 2014

 

While out in the midst of a long workday in the garden, we learned that our Nourishing North Carolina grant had been renewed. Great news!









We emptied out the shed, took it apart, and put it back together on a firmer foundation.










Individual plots were roped off. We have 20 plots available this summer. Fewer pathways means slightly larger plots this year.







We cut apart seed potatoes to be planted across the "back 40" of the garden.









Potatoes were planted in a depression about one foot apart and covered slightly. Once the potatoes sprout, we will go back and add more soil over the tops.





Extension agent Silas Brown used a tractor to push back the weeds and level a spot for the shed.
