Limestone convoy, Thursday the 28th at 7pm

Hi gang,

With September approaching, I know that a lot of us are soon going to be very busy. This is why I would like to organize one last work party. We have a huge pile of coarse wood chips to use, and I'd like to create a couple of paths with it: one leading to the hose, the other leading to the front door of the transformer station on Brock Street. The paths will survive much better if we place rock borders along them, so...

I'm looking for volunteers to make another limestone run across the causeway. Again, for those of you who didn't join us last time, you'll get to visit the secret spot where free limestone abounds! Bring your vehicle, and be sure to line your trunk with cardboard or an old blanket to prevent scratches. I'm hoping to get this done this coming Thursday, the 28th of August, with the convoy departing the garden at 7:00pm sharp. We'll fill the pathways with the chips once the rock borders are in. We had a very productive outing last time when we did the Brock Street rock borders, so... come one, come all! (Remember, you'll get to learn about the secret spot!)

Please let me know if you can make it!
Joey

This week I harvested our first melons of the season!



Everything is so lush right now. I couldn't resist a few more pictures of everyone's plots. Basil:

Tomatoes almost ready!


A perfect eggplant:


And so many beautiful flowers, I'll save them for another post. Some happy wasps:
