Cabbage, Garbage, and Kohlrabi

We've had some great work done in the past 24 hours. Frankie The Hammer fixed the tire on the wheelbarrow, and donated a couple of garbage cans:

We had a lot of trash building up, between debris collected during the initial groundbreaking, plants that died before they could get planted, and lots of plastic trays. So, now these two cans are overflowing with trash. If anyone has a small pickup truck and is willing to take these to the nearest dump, we would greatly appreciate it.



This is the tilled area just outside the west fence. Someone came by and planted the donated kholrabi (purple leaves on the left) and more donated cabbage, plus some mulching of the cabbage in the background--which was a lot of work to be sure. We still have a flat of cabbage at the garden, and one more at my house, which we have no more room for. So, please, if anyone wants to plant these cabbages in their own gardens, come by and pick them up. Otherwise, they will go to waste.



The same gardening elves also planted and mulched these donated bell peppers, located on the east side of the garden, near three beds of tomatoes. The rest of this bed will also be planted with various types of peppers, but it will probably be a little while because the seedlings aren't quite ready yet.

Also, those beds along the north fence were leveled out. Whomever was our grand benefactor, please post a comment below and let us know who you are. Great work all around!

So, at this point, we're about 80% planted. We've got some more direct seeding to do, including garlic, leeks, and radishes, as well as some plants that need to grow a little more first: yellow pear tomatoes, jalapeno and other hot peppers, cauliflower, and basil. We hope to get these in the ground within the next couple of weeks. Then, it's going to be all about mulching and tending until harvest time starts.
