A week of hard work & big rewards

This was a big week for us in the garden.  As fears of frost past, many set out to tackle the job of getting the beds ready for planting.  Thankfully some of the work was made easier with Alberto's roto tiller, but most of us still ended up with a handful of blisters.  Martha's black gold arrived just in time to help amend the beds.

Many  headed to Hilltop Hanover to pick up their seedling kits and learn how to address some common problems that gardeners in our neck of the woods should be on the lookout for.  One of the greatest successes of the week was the completion of the irrigation system.  Having to lug heavy water jugs through the garden for the last few days has made the convenience  of a plot-side spigot that much sweeter!

As the week came to a close, many families and friends enjoyed the beautiful weather and came together to plant, share, and learn in the garden...a great week full of exciting changes!
