Smooth Sailing


As of yesterday there have been three days of the intensive gardening program. The third day was filled with some elbow grease but the satisfaction of a job well done.

Yesterday's lesson consisted of watering and making guacamole. I'm sensing a trend of preparing food and eating it. Much of the day was spent setting up a very lengthy hose and watering can system to water all 700 ft. of Cosmos and Geraniums along the Douglas Ave wall.

This required a lot of team work and a bit of effort. This was a practice run of learning how to water in preparation for the challenging hose position at the Chad Brown Market. While these hoses were all in a straight line, the garden's water source is on the opposite side of the store and requires going through a substantial amount of brush.

We'll see our staff and community partners rise to the occasion !
(I hope)
