The Giving Garden of Carrollton

We had an early harvest today and delivered 24 lbs. of a mix of radishes, onions, collard greens, peppers, Swiss chard and lettuce, and lettuce and more lettuce (did I mention we had a lot of lettuce!).  It was also our last Saturday of month work day and we had students from Hebron High as volunteers moving compost to raise levels in most of the beds.  There were a total of 26 people buzzing around the garden between 9:00 and Noon and some of the men (Willie, Will, Joe and Gary worked hard to get double hose hangar poles installed).  The garden is looking fabulous and we are off to a great start.

Hopefully you all were able to cover your garden plants and all the tender new plants will make it.  This will be a history making freeze if it gets as low as the weathermen are predicting.

Your Giving Garden board will be meeting from 6:30 pm until 7:00 pm this Thursday, April 10th.  You are invited to join us at 7:00 pm that night to ask any questions, raise any concerns and share any ideas you have for our garden.  We are all excited as the growing season is beginning and our first harvest delivery is coming up on May 3rd. The cold is over, the rains have come and the garden looks great! (Yes, that’s my sweet granddaughter, Emma, helping me harvest lettuce!)
