Sky Condition: Not a cloud in the sky
I drove by the new 'farm' today to take pictures and get an idea of how much Terra Firma a 25'X50' garden plot is. WOW! That's a lot of dirt.
I am now responsible for weed control of this 1,250sq.ft section. This is plot 23 of 46 plots.
Per my signed agreement:
"WEEDS MUST BE KEPT UNDER CONTROL. Your garden plot will be reassigned to a person on the waiting list if your garden plot is identified as being intensely weedy. This is a judgment call that your fellow gardeners make on community work days. If your garden is identified as weedy you will be notified and given two weeks to clear it of weeds. If your garden is identified twice during the same season, you will forfeit your garden plot, and deposit, to a person on the waiting list."
Pressurized irrigation water is supplied to all plots.
I now have approx. four weeks to determine what to grow on the 'farm' and need to start my starters this week at home in my garden shed.
I will for sure plant potatoes. (I'm in Idaho, it's my first farm...) I'm planning on pumpkin, squash, and maybe some sweet corn.
