New shed details: we are working with the university as well as the town to establish whether we need a permit for the new shed. We hope that this will not impede the process and I will keep you updated. For now, your current shed will stay intact until further notice.
This Week
Monday: i harvested almost 50 pounds of swiss chard and there is still more to cut in two weeks. I did not get to cut back oak tree and cherry tree quite yet but will soon.
Friday: please turn the compost to the best of your ability.

Special thanks from Marie Weimer; social work intern
As the garden beds are less active after November 2nd there’s still much happening to prepare for the upcoming season.
