- Water Lines and Electricity are in the trenches; there will be some settling in the trench area so drop the sod bits and more soil in there, and WATCH YOUR STEP AROUND THE GARDEN -THE GROUND IS UNEVEN-
- Children’s Garden plans this year are bolstered by grants from Homemakers (FCCA) for seed and equipment and the Master Gardener Program for programming; congratulations to Mary B for success in bringing proposals to fruition. Watch the newspaper for specifics of the Pumpkin Patch Kids 8 weekly sessions, 2 hours each, for students in grades 3-5 to be held at the Community Garden.
- Applications for garden plots are now available at Country Corner and Reliabank. There are 23 plots tilled, and more space available. Please send your application in as soon as possible to make planning speed along- We hope to complete assignments before the middle of May.
- Conquering the sod in this inaugural year will take effort — for optimal growing conditions we will try to till the garden and remove the grass (please bring your rakes) every 7 to 10 days before the crops go in.
- First garden work day: May 3rd 4-5:30pm Bring rakes and a trash bag. We’ll collect ALUMINUM that day as well, so magnets will be helpful. Bring your own beverage — we’ll have cookies.

The garden continues to look better every day. Progress has been at a fast pace and anyone interested should get their application in as soon as possible. I know I will.

At our Horizons meeting tonight, I learned that the garden plots are being reserved quickly! I hope everyone takes advantage of this as soon as possible. I believe there are six plots left. The garden looks great, by the way!
