Hello Everyone.

The freeze last week hurt some of the plants, so for those of you who are holding off because of the weather, that was a wise move.  We lost a basil plant, and it’s still to be determined whether or not the three tomato plants will bounce back.  A marigold was damaged, but I think it’ll be okay.  Lots of the green beans sprouted, then something wreaked havoc on them (I don’t know what), so we’ve got only 4 or 5 plants that I think will actually do well, which means that I need to plant some more.  Most of the carrots have sprouted, and everything else seems to be doing okay.

There were initially lots of people expressing interest in the garden, but only two families have actually planted something – my family, and the Johnsons.  Is it just that everyone’s waiting for the weather to warm up more, or has everyone suddenly found themselves too busy?  We do still have the entirety of the higher raised bed available, and half of one one of the smaller beds.  We have the material to build more, but we’re going to hold off on that, until we definitely have more interest and know that the new beds will be used.

So, if you’re interested, please write me (Chris) and let me know!
