Ginny finished the path adjacent to plot 23: looks great. Cleared off the remaining dried up weeds from the plot and worked on the final border path. It is a bit more difficult to get the lines straight- Ed helped dig and made a few trips to get wood chips. I think that I rushed in laying out the path guide lines because I did not want him to wait. I am eager to finish the border paths so we can begin the raised beds and fence but might have to redo some of the stuff I did today because it isn't right. The lines were crooked because of the humps of dirt and still living ( although almost dead) stuff growing on the plot 23 side. I think that plot 23 is part of the Plot 21 ladies because when they cleaned up stuff along the plot fence, I saw that plot 23 is FILLED with peppers- a trade mark of the plot 21 ladies.
Worked about 90 minutes in the afternoon- it was very humid and I was muddy and sweaty because of all of the rain from last night's deluge. The rain collects on the tarps and picking up the dried up weeds was a smelly and dirty job.
While I enjoyed visiting with my sister and helping Carly get ready for school, I have missed working in the garden and was happy to be working again..
Nottoway Park, Vienna, Va has community gardens adjacent to Hunter House.I enjoy walking through the gardens and several years ago, I put my name on the waitlist for a plot (#99th on the list). This summer I received/was assigned plot #24. Since I am new to gardening I decided to start a blog to record my experiences. NOTTOWAY PARK is located at 9537 Courthouse Road. One can play tennis, basketball, volleyball, garden, picnic, use the fitness trail, or enjoy the quiet wooded nature paths.
great
