We’ve been having another great week!

Started off strong with 6 hours on Monday: finalizing our manure bases in each garden bed, and depositing Paonia Soil Co. across half of the garden. No more manure sifting— yay!

After that, we made a trip down to Paonia to purchase 4 more cubic yards of soil & unloaded them with the good ol’ tractor!

We also hit an exciting milestone

Over 100 plants have been planted! We currently have yellow squash, cucumber, and several tomatoes now in the garden beds. We can’t wait to start posting progress pics as they begin to grow & thrive!

Next week’s goals:

* Finish dispersing all the new soil into the rest of the beds. Then garden bed construction is finally complete!

* Get more plants and seeds planted!

* Work on tidying up the greenhouse interior.

Monday, June 30th was another hot one!

We were able to fill 8 green garden beds with manure & fleece and 12 out of 24 of our smaller garden beds. Thank you to our volunteers and our team leader, Miss Dottie .

Next Monday (6am-12pm) we’re aiming for:

- Finishing up the manure filling process (yay!) 🪏

- Starting to fill our beds with Colorado’s Original Supersoil: Paonia Soil Co.! We are taking a trip on Monday to purchase more soil from them.

- Planting our FIRST tomato plants! (courtesy of our volunteers) The first plants to call the garden home.
