Between days of rain, we have had some really lovely weather here. Tuesday evening was another garden workday. I went from a one-hour yoga class to two hours in the garden and thought I would be sorer than I was yesterday.
I've included some photos of everyone working hard. The garden is in a beautiful spot next to the big lake, and that rock you see on the bluff is Sugarloaf- one of Winona's landmarks. Before the native Americans were driven away, this area was known as Wapasha's Prairie. When we signed up for the plot, we were asked to submit name suggestions. This was Juan's suggestion and it won the vote, so he is very proud of this. To the left of the photo is Winona Community Hosital, where figlet will be born within the next month or so. This area was absolutely nothing a few weeks ago, so we've come a long way quickly in spite of the rainy days.
Everyone worked hard that evening.
It was a fun evening, and we went home, scrubbed up and happily fell into bed.

a great thing to be part of...we bought a farm share at a small farm in Scarborough, not far from your parents' house--we will get to pick up our fresh share once per week starting a few weeks from now...very exciting! Between that and the small things we can grow here, hopefully it will be a fresh, tasty summer!
Winona looks beautiful! I am trying to place where those gardens are. What a great idea for Winona to do! You look great as a gardener, I need some boots like that.
fantastic! I'm getting into the community garden scene here in Boston. It's a lot of fun!
What are you going to grow on your plot?
That's pretty neat that you can garden that way. Julian must be looking forward to being a big brother. You are looking great. Just think in a month or so you can have a little sugar, in time for summer ice cream. I'm looking forward to visiting.
Great photos as always.
