Garden Work Day!

Toolshed being built!  By former gardener Thom and garden founder Alek.  Men of steel.

Here they are at work.

Here's Elena helping out

Raphael's daisies were there and who can help but photograph them?  Not me.

Julia! She bravely wrangled the Mexican Tree Tobacco out of her plot. Turns out it's a poisonous invasive weed.

Carolyn grows beets the size of footballs. But how does she feel about them?

Pretty good!

That's a happy gardener.

This preying mantis was loitering in my plot this afternoon

And turned to face me!  It was very exciting, especially with the backlighting going on.

Here's Kimberly and Karen coming to check out Kimberly's zucchinis

Uh oh--Kimberly could whomp someone with one of them

but she probably won't, don't worry.

Karen!  Busy glowing.

Karen took this picture of me hiding in lavender

Chipper shredder at work!  Magic right before your eyes.

Sue (Purple) cut back the big tree so the first few plots can get as much sun as they need.

And here's Carl, one of the nicest people you could meet and a gardener in the new garden across the street.  Wonderful work, everybody!  Thanks for coming!
