My Nonprofit Reviews

I am new to the program having joined one year ago. I wanted to try my hand at gardening, and signed up for a garden plot. I was able to help only a little, but managed to help with getting the garden plots set up, and helped with spreading wood chips for walking paths. Sadly enough, I could not make most meetings as I work for law enforcement and work many evenings. Even worse, I missed the potluck and the cider making event! A chance to participate in making apple cider was disappointing to me, but perhaps next year I can be there if the opportunity comes up.
I want to tell you about my gardening experience. I learned that I needed more room!!! Beggers cannot be choosers however, so I made do with my little plot. I had some mishaps, and I had some good results. I also had some volunteer sunflowers grow in my lttle plot that I did not want, but since they were so persistant I didnt have the heart to kill them. They grew, and grew, and grew. HUGE! Jack in the Beanstalk could have used them on his mission. Well, I figured the birds could enjoy the seeds. This coming Summer I have other plans however. I want pumpkins, and Hubbard squash. No Sunflowers!
I was able to attend a class on composting which was informative. I met some wonderful people. I watched the progression of everyones garden and enjoyed walking around their plots and seeing what was growing. I learned what worked and didnt work for me, and had good results with my tomatoes which I shared with people. My squash did not have quite enough time to really ripen, but hopefully this year the weather will cooperate. Just want to say that this was a great experience for me.
