Rebuilding the school garden is going to have to happen one day at a time. Today’s goal was simply to clear our the garden beds. It really is a jungle of milk thistle and other grasses, and in order to get to the garden beds, I needed to make a path of entry.
With some effort, kindness, and knowing the end goal, I was able to clear out space to start growing. The great news about having let the weeds grow for the past year, is that the soil remained enriched and healthy.
Tomorrow’s goal is to turn up the soil, and take out a few more invasive plants in between the garden beds. Slowly, but surely the garden will not only look pretty, but have pumpkins, potatoes, carrots, and beans growing all summer.
