The Sunrise Garden
Keeping you apprised and asking for help.

As many of you are aware, this year we've been having discussions about taking responsibility for particular aspects of and projects for the garden at Dandelion Ranch. ~ Sunrise Garden ~ is one of them and I have happily taken it on. My partner in this project has had some family issues that've taken her out of town for a long period and so it is me, me, me alone.

I have looked over the seeds that Bella and I have pooled together and the design on the drawing here is what I've come up with. This will be a beautiful edible/medicinal garden for all to delight in.

Tomorrow I'll be sowing seeds in trays and will probably be doing that next Wednesday 21st also. What I now realize however, is that the garden beds need to be landscaped and spaced, pathways filled with mulch or gravel put in and probably much more than I'm able to think of here.

I would be so happy to have some help in doing this physical preparation- it would be super to sit down with a group of any size to speak over what will need to be done, how and when. 

Spring has truly sprung and with the thought of this flower garden and the bees who'll be buzzing, the birds a swooping and hummigbirds whizzing- I can't wait!

Warmly,

Carmen

Sorting seeds

Turning one of the compost piles that was too wet on the top 1/3 of the pile.  Temperature was down to 60 degree.  After turning pile and mixing in more straw (carbon), temperature rose back to 90 degree the next day, and 110 degree two days later!
