ON MONDAY, MAY 14 AT 1 PM we will once again weed, tuck in and water with manure tea. Bring cardboard, black plastic from Galiano Trading, organic matter of any kind, weeding tools and / or other favourite garden utensils.

At the last work party on April 18th we

** weeded both plots,

** watered with a feisty manure tea,

** tucked in cardboard and plastic to keep grass well out of the beds as well as

** tended the compost piles

** and had chai and cookies!

The exciting thing was that Thomas showed up with a magnificent offering of compost from Saanich that he was bringing in for Cable Bay Farm. It is nicely tarped and ready for use.

Deblekha and Diana have brought over some horse manure too so we are ready to give back to the land.

The garlic itself is handsome indeed and it was all we could do NOT to pull one up to peak. The bulbils are up and surprisingly fragile-looking.
