How Does Our Garden Grow?
- Thanks to Jonie and Ofel for weeding the walkway Thursday morning. Mary followed with a seed preventative on Friday.
- Saturday morning a cloth weed barrier was put down and mulch spread.
- Great teamwork! Shout out to: Mike, Mark, Mary, Leroy, Jacqueline, Kathy, Ofel, & John.
- A special shout out to Jonie for ALL the weeds she has destroyed this past month!! You can hear the weeds screaming "Oh no! She's back!" when she enters the garden.
- Thank you to Dan Stricklin for donating the mulch! Check out the pics!
