Alex and his friend Tavaughn came up with me to help out. They pulled weeds in block A from 5 rows. Les and Dick were in block D tying tomatoes and Moeen was in block C weeding, trimming and watering a few rows. Alan was up with the dogs, using the trimmer he trimmed around the compost bins and block A and B.

This is the beginning of Block D in the Nursery Garden. We have gotten ahead of ourselves with last years volunteer group. When finished this area will have at least 20 rows 4ft wide x 30ft long. Mulched walkways between the rows will make it easier to navigate and pull weeds from the beds.
