End of Season 2015

Today we finished at Riel House by transferring the last of the mulch pile in the parking lot into the Parking Lot Garden.
At last! 21 October 2015
It has been a strenuous year. Perhaps we took on too much this year by planting a two thousand square foot Parking Lot Garden with native plants and creating thirty raised beds in the Produce Garden, each bed four feet wide and twenty-two feet long. But it's done, and everything looks great. 

To see what our thirty raised beds look like, here's the Produce Garden 2015 video.

Going . . . . going . . . . gone!

We had fifteen yards of aged cow manure delivered on September 30. It took us almost three weeks, but it's gone!
