The Dirty Work…

I wasn’t in the garden this week, but the core group of loyal volunteers were, and here are Woody Dukes’ photos of the hard work that they were able to do. Woody was in the garden doing some fence repair…

Leaves had been raked against the fence from the other side causing a big build-up of leaves as well as some needed repair work to the fence panel…

But MEANWHILE…a crew of the most hard working and dedicated volunteers got really AGGRESSIVE about cleaning out the beds, digging out every leaf and stick they could find…in preparation for another crew to come in with mulch to cover the new irrigation lines as well as burying emerging weeds…and eventually providing moisture retention in what looks like will be the hot summer months ahead. Leaves, twigs, fallen camellias…all had to go…hats off to this crew (and if this inspires you, they are working again next Friday…Come on down!)
