More Progress!

Our boxes got planted this week and we added several boxes to the garden. It is really interesting to see what is being planted. Almost everyone is planting tomatoes. There are quite a few peppers too. Some people are planting herbs, some flowers, and some strawberries.

We are quite pleased with our watering system which is completely drip irrigation. This type of watering is new to some people, but all the gardeners are embracing it.

One thing that is most surprising and gratifying is the way the garden is creating community in a new way for us. We are meeting and talking with people who have lived here for a few years but we never would have had an opportunity to get to know each other without the garden. It has created a focus and common purpose that we are all enjoying.
