Our raised beds were very productive.

Picture
Our plant sale was very successful.
Picture
We had around 800 veggies, half were purchased by donations.
Picture
Picture
there were other vendors selling their crafts and lavender plants.
Picture
It was hard to select the right veggie or heirloom tomato plants, twenty different kinds of tomato's, mostly Black Russian type or yellow pear.
Picture
John and Dan were having fun meeting all the curious donators
Picture
It pays to use heavy equipment to move things around.
Picture
Now that we have done the heavy work, the shovel, rake and wheel barrow takes over. This year we are planting lots of cut flowers for u pick. And again this year we will be selling WSU compost, topsoil and bark for every gardeners needs.
Picture
Look closely at the six mounds of top soil, half has been loaded in the new beds. In the foreground is the start of the Master Gardeners demonstration garden. We hope many citizens will visit us to see rare and unusual plants.
Picture
Its Feb. and we are still harvesting chard, spinach and broccoli. Right now the soil is being prepared to transplant some and make way for carrot seeding. This year a million seeds will be planted, all destined for the Asotin Co. Food Bank.
Picture
Top soil delivered by a Montana construction company is from the city of Clarkston sewer treatment plant....thanks to the city of Clarkston.
Picture
The top soil is free from rocks, 60 yards and six trucks later. The soil will be augmented with compost and other material to fill beds and other areas where needed.
Picture
Our newer beds waiting to be filled with top soil. We layer material in them to get the most out of the soil. Quality Concrete Products donated these décor blocks. In the back ground is 60 yards of topsoil donated by the city of Clarkston, bark and the dark pile is compost from WSU.
Picture
This is our four station compost bins, they are covered and rest on concrete. In front is the drying pad. Vegetation is dried for three days so the ultraviolet lite kills any seeds.
Picture
Quality Concrete Products provided sculptured concrete blocks for 11 beds.
Picture
It does not make any difference which side of the fence your on, QCP makes it easy. John Freeman and Dan Cease watch in amazement.
Picture
The sign got put up just in time for the Open House event.
Picture
The open house was a huge success, everyone had a good time, tours, master gardeners booth, food cooking, treats, and just good old fashioned conversations.
Picture
John is transplanting lettuce for more crop rotation, a practice we do

All the volunteers at the garden deserve this oscar too....I accepted it on their behalf. It was a surprise.

Picture
Tendercare preschoolers are excited about gardening their two beds this year.
Picture
Here I am using this machine that trenches and with another attachment tills. These are onion and carrot in ground beds. The produce will go to the food bank.
Picture
It sure was nice to interface with a lot of gardeners. I enjoyed helping out at the booth telling our community garden story.
Picture
Glenda Farrell is tending to the Master Gardener booth at the Home and Garden Show that included the garden display in March.
Picture
It was a job with this machine, it was hard on the back but it sure did a good job for us. We will be tilling deeper when the fertilizer is added.
Picture
This is the 1 inch main line from the street where the meter is located. Another line that has a remote valve will irrigate the grass and trees along Fair street.

What, trees? We planted 3 flowering plum trees and one Arborvitae. We moved them from our old site. In a few days we will be adding 3 double blossom flowering cherry trees and one more Arborvitae.
Picture
John is fixing the last of the boxes. He added a small rap at the bottom so the wood does not come in contact with the grass.
Picture
Top soil is piled in each bed waiting to be worked. Weeds and other things will have to be removed, but at least they are filled...We have a lot of work ahead of us. Eventually we will be planting grass.
Picture
The start of a compost pile in the background, it was scraped leaves and lawn clippings that were on the ground.

We're attaching weed block material to the bottom of the boxes this time to prevent grass or weeds growing up inside. In the back ground is 12 yards of WSU mulch and more raised beds to be positioned. Some of the constructed beds will be delivered to Parkway Elementry School for their projects.
Picture
Fence material consists of stacked 39" cattle woven wire reaching 7 ft tall to keep the deer out. In the back ground at the base of the hill is the Snake River. The sounds of tugs pushing barges can be heard and watched at times.
Picture
Raised beds are being positioned, pink ribbons indicate future posts that will support the chain link fence.
