Paula Plummer, Henry Gorsky, Jim McPherson and Larry Paul will meet Sunday, March 3rd after the 8:30 service to survey the property for possible garden sites.
Our next general meeting is going to be Monday, March 11th at 6:30 pm.
Some of the plants we talked about planting are
- March - lettuce, carrots, potatoes (own bed?, full season), radishes, peas, onions, beets, spinach
- May - tomatoes (whole bed?), green peppers
We have many issues that we need to address
- 1st year will be an experiment.
- We decided that we are going to share the whole garden, not have individual plots.
- water source (rain barrel - Ben?)
- ground level beds or raised beds (usually 4' x 8') pine boards (untreated)
- mulch and compost (more mulch, means less water) free compost from city, compost bins near the garden for our waste
- deer prevention - chicken wire/frame
- We want to be able to drive to the garden.
- tiller
- costs
- plants/seeds
- wood/soil for beds
- fencing
