| Welcome to Joanne, Linda, and Camille |
We welcomed three new VegHeadz and look forward to learning from them. After a WOW session and tour of the forest garden, we all picked a task and set to work.
The arbor will be ready for planting grapes by the end of February, and blueberry bushes have been ordered to establish a new blueberry patch.
Spring never fails to quicken the hearts of gardeners, and to furnish opportunities to learn something new. It’s a very rewarding time of the year.

| Peter and Mike are figuring out how to replace some rotting boards on our old arbor. It was moved here from Second Harvest when they discontinued their onsite garden. |
 |
| Our new garden coordinator, Cathy Alfano. Already doing a great job. And a big thank you to Carole Hayes who excelled as coordinator for the previous two years. |
 |
| Mary is weeding the Sunflower tripods. The Giant sunflowers we plant as trap plants make a huge difference in reducing damage from leaf footed bugs. |
 |
| Busy, busy |
 |
| Laurie is freshening up the main pollinator bed with many of the perennials there already sprouting. Other pollinator attractors are scattered throughout the garden. |
 |
| We caught Cathi turning the compost bins early before anyone else arrived. A nice pile of finished compost is ready to boost new plantings. |
 |
| Nancy and Jeannie are transplanting yarrow to elsewhere in the garden from where it grows vigorously under the bat house. |
 |
| Peggy and Linda are pruning The dwarf Black Mulberry. It’s already sprouting new leaves. And thank goodness so are our denuded citrus trees.  |
