Peppers Are Planted!

Garden Friends,

The peppers have been planted.  There are 7 different varieties of sweet peppers and 3 varieties of hot peppers.  Please be aware of the tags.  The hot pepper are HOT and don't want to be accidently picked by one of our toddling children for a snack.  Now we just have to hope for some warm weather for a productive crop!

Happy gardening - The Allen Family

Starting a Facebook Page

Is it silly to start a Facebook page for a garden? I've seen dogs with Facebook pages before. Surely a garden has something to say?
In the hopes that this step will make posting and learning about the garden that much easier for people, I'm going ahead with it.
Keep your eyes out and become a member!

Note from Alan...

I have decided to take a look at the produce list that people suggested 
that they would like to have in the garden, and plant some of those.  Some one has anonymously left a soil thermometer at my
door step (?????????). Thank you ! I have been checking the soil periodically, and it has stayed consistently around 55 degrees,
which indicates that broccoli, peas, celery, onions and cabbage are good to plant.  Also I would like to give a big shout out to Bob
and Ginger, two of our neighbors who have donated a huge amount of their personal time helping to keep our local Arbor Lodge
Park chemical free, which I know that many folks with children and dogs and all the ball teams that play there must appreciate.
One good way to show our appreciation, would be to show up one of the once a month Saturday's and help out.  They also graciously
showed up and helped out labor and their experience and valuable knowledge of gardening. Thanks so much Ginger and Bob for
all that give and do.

Black Plastic if You Please

Erin and I (Justin) have a bunch of black plastic for covering beds if anybody needs some. Also a bit of lime.
