We’ve got the 16 beds built and most filled with topsoil (ran out of topsoil for the last 2) and put wood chippings down between the plots as paths. I think everyone had a great time and we were all proud of our accomplishment. Do you know of anyone that would be able to come by on a Saturday morning to give a little talk/demo on growing vegetables? We have a number of novice gardeners who would appreciate some tips, I think.
