Garden update

Feels as if Spring my be just around the corner and I would like to post some of my thoughts about the
upcoming planting season. This year, I would like to back off of the decisions and planting of the vegetable beds, unless I am needed for helping. I would like to focus my energies on tending to fruit trees, berry vines and grapes. I would also intend to provide the water from my property, however I hope the actual watering can be divided among the garden participants. I had hoped that I might avoid paying for the weekly irrigation. The next item on my agenda, will be to finish connecting the grape arbor and trimming all of grape, fruit trees and berry vines. I also hope to provide a blackboard somehow, to leave messages and for little children to draw on. I had thought that I might like to have a lending library, like the ones you see spread around town on various street corners. But I think some of my ideas can be a little grandiose and first and foremost I to help provide this area with things that are most important to the surrounding neighborhood. Please feel free to e-mail me with any thoughts or ideas that any of you would like to share. Planting is still a bit of a ways out, I was just hoping to get people thinking about our up coming season. Thank you, Alan Root
