Ground broken; wiring intact

A spirited crowd assembled Saturday, May 2 to break ground on the St. Giles community garden. We were honored to be joined by several neighbors: Doug Gerleman, Jonna Kerrigan, and Paul and Mariko Sato. We have expanded the garden to 12 plots.

We dug a 6-inch trench to bury the base of the fence. This will keep the bunnies out. We stopped digging after we came across two mysterious wires. The utilities have now marked their territory, and we can resume digging. We will dig carefully around the electrical, cable and phone wires, and if all goes well, we'll get the fence erected and the plots tilled this Saturday, May 9.

We are hoping for a delivery of wood chips in the coming weeks -- meantime we can simply line our paths with landscape fabric.
