When the soil/compost arrived to fill the new boxes at my community garden, there was much rejoicing, and not just by me (okay, I might have been the loudest).

Ever the enthusiast and keener, I cut out of work early “for a meeting” and was out there in the early afternoon heat lugging wheelbarrows of the dark stuff to my plot. A few people beat me to the punch, but not many…

Before Soil

After Soil

It was hot, sweaty hard work, but very exciting to finally be so close to putting plants and seeds in the soil. A huge thank you to the folks who organized and made it happen!
