Sunday's celebration poet Janet

We are grateful (by Chris K. as a call/response)

For the earth and all she produces;

We are grateful.

For compost, rich with microbial goodness;

We are grateful.

For engineers who design and builders who fashion garden beds, irrigation systems, hoop houses, propagation greenhouses;

We are grateful.

For snow that fills aquifers that flow through red irrigation driplines;

We are grateful.

For community that has grown here and that will grow yet;

We are grateful.

For the sweet and succulent goodness we will eat from this garden and the love that here will grow;

We are grateful.

Bless, O, bless this sacred, abundant space.

Amen.

Interplanting

In 2017 we reduced the east garden portion to half and planned some interplanting of two crops:  carrots/radishes, cabbage/butterhead, spinach/peas.  They seem to be working fine so far.  We had a few boo-boos:  we didn't interplant carrots & radishes; kales planted into carrots (maybe worth repeating that one intensionally).
