May 1, 2015 Update - The Season Begins

Early Harvest-wild onion

New members and "old" members worked together in the garden this morning for about two hours. Using a garden plan Sharon developed based upon the layout team's strategy, the outline of the 2015 High Vista Community Garden has now taken shape.

Al and Joyce, Randi, Catherine & Jerry, Sue K., Mary Alice & Peter, and Mike and Sharon braved a looming storm and high wind to measure, calculate, drive in stakes, string guidelines, and post flags that delineate garden beds and walkways. Once again, the value of many eyes, brains, and hands (plus two 100' measuring tapes, four scissors, and two mallets) got the job done with optimal results two whole weeks before the date of the last threat of frost in Western North Carolina.
