Here are Ann and Christine, representing the Holston Valley Unitarian Universalist Church gardeners -- this bunch has their act together. One look at their lettuce and you can see. They decided yesterday to let their current crops go a little longer, and as such did some harvesting and weeding, and sharing of wisdom.
Karen and Nancy worked hard all morning, weeding and planting:
The New Vision Youth were a bunch of wonderful fresh faces in the garden -- they got their two beds squared away and weren't afraid to dig in and get their hands dirty (though when they learned what compost is, it might have given a pause : )!
Nancy D. plants some tomatoes:
Christine shared her tomato-planting wisdom with all of us -- here she's talking to the New Vision Youth. I brought home what I learned from her yesterday and used it on my own home-garden tomatoes, too. Thank you, Christine!
Father and sons Willie, Chandler and Zachary came to get their bed going. Here they are with Scott, weeding. Chandler was directing the efforts yesterday, and seemed to know a good bit about gardening (but also learned a lot, I think):
Sam and Nicole came to move out the early spring crops in their bed and get tomatoes growing. Sam was a great -- and smiley -- sideline coach!:
After most of the gardeners had gone home, Nicole's husband Danny, and her older son, Jack, came (after a fishing tournament where Jack caught his first fish) to build us a hose hanger. Here they are digging the hole where it'll stand. Big thanks to their family!
And here's the lovely hose hanger!
Happy Mother's Day, and thank you to all of you gardeners who are helping make mine extra blessed.
