Thanks to Rick, Jennifer, Cody, Rog, Dave and Neda for their "above and beyond the call of duty" work yesterday in bringing even more b.s. into the Mercado :)Thanks, too, to Gene and Dave for mixing it up with our native soil today and for boxing our home-made compost which seems much richer and is better smelling than the imported variety.
A garden treasury update: 10 households have contributed $20 each towards digging, planting, watering and harvesting. We've spent $40 on soil testing and $106 for compost/soil amendment. Neighbors who've not yet jumped in are invited to do so. The Pfeuffers are collecting the cash and recording/reporting the expenses.
The window for planting is slowly closing. The suggestion is that people may want to plant seeds seedlings in small pots to get them started and then plant them, maybe as early as next weekend, but not before we get more dirt to add to the amended soils.
Good eating is coming up!

The stable where my old horse is has mountains of old (finely aged)horse manure. If that is of interest, let me know and point me to a truck
