What's Growing?

There is a lot of green happening in the garden.

Mixed greens.

Radishes.

Broccoli and cauliflower.

Support

What a nice suprise I had early today as I stopped by to water the garden.  Mr. Trimble came over to complement us on the wonderful work we are doing and how nice the garden looks.  Sweet! 

Roses

The rose:  a woody perennial  armed with sharp prickles.

Yes, sharp little prickles.  Just ask my arms.

Oh, but how beautiful they are.

At Corona they come in all colors and shapes.

Cataloging these pretties is a project for another day.  For now we are happy they are thriving.

Things get messy

Things get messy in the farm area. Kathy is focused on setting up a ditch system to make watering easy.

Everything gets dirty.

But cleanup time is fun.  It marks the end of a productive and rewarding experience at the garden.

Maura

She is a Corona alumni who brings stories from the Feldman era.

We are recycling a Feldman relic.  The base coat has been applied to the spool that is a table.

Maura is a hard working young woman who loves the garden, and connects the rest of us to the beginning of the greenhouse.

Second life

The wind storm blew the tree branch down.  

A volunteer chopped up the tree branch and saved the pieces for a second use.

Stones

 Terracotta stones are the latest addition to the garden.  There is a really nice shady spot that is perfect for a little outdoor living look.  

We begin with the floor.

And a little hedge.
