On May 24th seven people signed up to work in the interfaith garden. We continued hilling up the potatoes, weeding the small garden, and finished the spinach harvest. The spinach bed was then re-manured and fertilized and dug and raked over to prepare it to receive a second crop rotation. The kids were busy tying up the netting on the inner fence to keep the bunnies confused. Around the garden’s edges we planted zinnia, cleome, nasturtiums, cosmos and marigolds. These flowers attract beneficial pollinators, and will also be harvested and given to the Food Pantry — food for the soul.
Workers, besides Carla Fortmann, were Karen, Daniel and Adriana Garber, Eli Haber, John Dacey, Terry Zabik, and Karen Longeteig.
