Go Bulls!

usfladies

This morning three ladies from USF came out to help in the gardens. After two hours of mulching we accomplished more than I thought we would. These ladies worked harder than many volunteer groups I have hosted and they thoroughly wore me out! A special thank you to Erin, Katherine and Emily for their great work today!

So, as for accomplishments in the last few days

  • the salvia bed is weeded, mulched and full of lots of new salvia seedlings.
  • the center bed with clerondendrum and the tire planters has been weeded, the tired have been replanted with beans, collards and snapdragons and the whole area is now mulched.
  • The corner of the sidewalk border bed that contains rue, wild petunia and scorpion tail is weeded, trimmed back and now mulched.

The back garden behind BioWorks is really shaping up.  On Friday we have another group of USF volunteers to look forward to and in just a few weeks we have the first of two Eagle Scout projects starting in the gardens. Hurray for Spring and for volunteers!
