Wow,. someone in Massachusetts just finished off our project for mulch. That is enough to take us about 2/3rds of the way on the old dilapidated crush and run. Thank you everyone for the support.

Harvested the last of the garlic and gave it to the school district chefs. This was after letting my garden club kids take one if they wanted it.

This is our random sunflower in our school garden. I kept meaning to transplant it but didn’t. It’s in with the sage. It’s nearing 10 feet. Full bloom

So. My Library Media Specialist asked me this morning if we had ducks in the courtyard. I was like not that I’ve seen. She said the crows were going nuts. So we went exploring. She was very well hidden in the oregano.

We’ve spread a total of 40 bags of mulch, 2 cubic feet of mulch per bag. The garden club spread the first 20 bags. Myself and a volunteer spread 20 more bags today. Hopefully another 40 bags next week. The crush and run is six years old and just grows weeds.
