The strawberries have finally been transplanted!!! -hundreds and hundreds of them. Me and Mark were really starting to hate them but in celebration of finishing we took leftover plants and planted them in the woods next to the nature trail. We didn't plant them that well but there were tons of runners and they will probably be taking over by next year. I wish I had a before and after picture of the strawberries.
We planted some of the strawberries in hanging baskets in attempt to outsmart the chipmunks which are at fault for devouring all of the strawberries. Mark is going to biuld something to hang them with. other than that we just worked on making the garden look beautiful for the RVGA farm tour that is happening saturday and ending with a tea party at the MES garden. Me and Mark are going to be working at a few different farms saturday with susan Perrin, the Director of the growers association.
Overall I have been enjoying working at the MES garden. Above are some photos taken by Nicci, one of the gardeners we have been working with. in the picture to the left me and Mark are Picking Kale that is going to be used for a dinner at the governor's mansion that has to do with the new garden they have there. To the right are some of the Marbletown Elementary summer school kids who came out to help us transplant strawberries.
In an up coming post I hope to talk about the Snyder Estate and the historical Society- I am just waiting on some pictures. And you should hopefully be hering from Mark soon also.
enjoy!
