First Donations Planted

We had our first donation of plants, today -- a whole cartful!  Marta and I gave our donor, Ann,  a tour of all the Beaver Barracks' gardens and enjoyed an iced tea, together. 

Since the plants arrived at noon on the hottest day of the summer, we waited until 5 pm to put them in the ground.   We decided to plant only where we could work in the shade, which meant that the compost "field" got planted.   There is a plantain path behind the planters, in front of the composter, and to the composter.  The rest is mainly wild violets!

Compost Field

The Wilderness

We had some plants left.  The plantain path behind the planters in the wilderness behind plots 6-9 was started, with a voilet patch and some oregano in the rest.  

I drew out a keyhole pattern in the wilderness that stretches around the roof anchor, figuring that maintenance should have easy access to it.  The keyhole itself will be a plantain patch;  it will also be much easier to tend to the plants around it.
