| Dustin digging onions |
The "Sharing Gardens" turned "two" on April 15th!
Hard to believe it's only been that long...This past few weeks we've
been dodging raindrops and spending time transplanting and preparing
beds with the trust that sunnier weather is on its way. Our young friend
Dustin McClintock showed up to help us dig up the last few onions that
wintered over. We always appreciate his willing smile and "can-do"
attitude!

| Doreen transplanting |
Doreen Millar managed to join us a few times already
this season. She and her husband Rann were some of our most dedicated
volunteers last year. Here she is transplanting out a few lettuce plants.
The slugs are getting plump on many of our early transplants. It's a
good thing we have many more at "The Ark" - greenhouse - awaiting their
turn to be planted out.

| 4-H Giveaway |
We enjoyed our time at the 4-H Giveaway on Saturday,
April 16th. Chris and I brought a whole table-full of starts: broccoli,
lettuce, kale, spinach, amaranth and sunflowers. It was fun to see the
smiles of people taking their free "starts" home for their own gardens.
The young people in Christie Warden's 4-H group did a beautiful job of
putting on the event. They volunteered their time to set up, be there
for the day and clean up the leftovers. It felt good to see all these
young people being in service to their community.
Many
of our wishes have been granted (we'll write up a thank-you blog soon!).
Take a look at our current wish-list to see if there's anything you can
help us with:
