Sunshine in Dixie

March 27, 2010


With the help of MANY volunteers we got a lot done on Saturday! We even had a family drive down from CEDAR CITY to spend some time in the warm sun, digging in the dirt! Thanks for coming, Fawson family!

Here's what we got planted:

4 beds of tomato plants (Solar Master, Star Fire, Phoenix, Amelia and Roma!)
From Community Garden 3-27-2010









1 bed of bell peppers, anaheims, and jalapeno

Harvested 1 bed of broccoli and cauliflower

Everyone did an amazing job. The girls from the LDS 7th Ward did a wonderful job of planting, weeding, and helping out! (Truly! They were just "resting" here...)

Another great morning in the garden! Lots of fun people showed up to help in the garden. . .





. . . AND with the brush clean up in the gully.




Some of the kids discovered that broccoli tastes great fresh out of the garden!!. . .

WHAT A GREAT GROUP!!


In spite of a little mis-communication, we managed to accommodate nearly 40 volunteers! The garden has never looked SO good! And the gully got a nice facelift, too! Thanks, everyone, for all of your help!

By the way, our broccoli is doing very well and tastes better than anything you can buy in the store. We picked the first head of cauliflower, and it was big and beautiful.
The lucky family I gave it to will have to give us a report!


Our lettuce, carrots, and beets are all coming up and look great!
The Swiss Chard accidentally got "re-dug" (forgot we had already planted that bed! Oops!!)
Still waiting (it's been a whole 2 weeks!)for the potatoes to pop up...
and we start REALLY planting in a couple more weeks.


Now, if we could just get our signs to not fold in half when the wind blows really hard!!
