Planting, Planning, Planting

This week has been super busy, but we've made some good progress. We picked up another load of compost this morning and created mounds for our pumpkin/melon patch. Later in the afternoon, a few of our lovely volunteers helped with planting seeds (pumpkins and watermelon) and tomato plants. The onions and potatoes are going strong. The potatoes we pulled out of the compost seem to be thriving-- they're about twice the size of our other potato plants! All of our onions have popped up and are growing everyday. I was especially pleased to see the beginnings of a few beets, their red stems barely distinguishing them from the baby weeds. Still no sign of the carrots, but we'll keep an eye out for them.
