The garden prior to staking.On May 6, Jim, Mike, and Pete measured and staked the garden into the community and individual plots. As Sharon commented later, "this looks more like a farm than a garden!" Once again, thanks to Sharon for spearheading the gardening effort and to Zeke for finding the perfect site!
Marking the spot.

The gardens were labeled with little orange flags.
On bright and sunny Saturday, May 7, a good crew met to erect pole bean supports. Claude's sturdy structures will withstand anything! Just imagine these trellises covered in masses of leaves and beans :) Notice our generous neighbor in the background. We thank Mike Pace for making our garden dream a reality!
Preparing the area for planting. The first pole beans were planted on Saturday, May 7.
Joan, The Happy Gardener!
