While not for the new food production garden proper, we have 45 yards of mulch being delivered this coming Friday for our new physical education space and for the courtyard play space.
Our land space for gardening and outdoor play has expanded greatly with the purchase of the convent. In addition to the court yard we now also have about 2,600 square feet of new physical education and recess play area just outside of the courtyard.
This new play area will be fenced with a beautiful 4' 3-rail split rail fence along Kentucky Ave. enclosed by 14 gauge wire to help keep balls in and 45 feet of 6ft privacy fence along the brick wall that not only adds safety (the brick wall drops down to a sidewalk up to 6ft from grade), but adds a large canvas for art.
Our new garden will be fenced with the same beautiful split-rail fence described above. The garden gate will also have a gorgeous trellis/arbor.
Our poor strawberries are so weeded in right now (as is much of the garden, the morning glories have gone nuts!) and are looking forward to being moved this fall, but are still producing tasty fruit. There are many daughter plants being produced that will add food for us and our pollinator friends in their new home!
Hey, while you are at it how about a nifty little rain dance - we sure could use it!
