We had a fantastic day on Monday 7/14 getting a lot accomplished! Now time to watch the garden grow!

Thank you to our volunteers (and dedicated supervisor, Miss Dottie) who were able to:

Finish filling garden beds with Paonia Soil Co.

Put in a walkway and gravel in the greenhouse (look how purdy!)

Build a platform around the water station (yay— no more muddy shoes!)

Plant all 236 starter plants and fill every single garden bed!

Big shout out to Mt. Garfield Greenhouse— we purchased the last of their starters before the end of the season:

13x Squash

10x Bell Peppers

10x Jalapeños

19x Tomatoes

4x Lt Peppers

60x Bunching Onions

36x Leeks

48x Basil

10x Serrano Peppers

This morning (7/16) we planted Marigold flowers around the tomato plants to help with pest control. (Again thank you to Mt. Garfield Greenhouse for the seed donations earlier this year!) We also planted a few other varieties to fill out the garden beds.

We’re making great progress and are so excited to see our garden begin its growing adventure!
