VISA Update

I know you are all waiting to see the photos of the raised beds VISA built for us. I'm waiting to get permission to use the photos I took of the event and of their team. What I will tell you is they did an amazing job along with HandsOn Bay Area who brought Haven and VISA together and for supervising the project. Be sure to check out HOBA's website. They do great work in the Bay Area.

HandsOn Bay Area

Other projects I have in the planning stages:

New raised beds

Adding water lines
Building trellises
Installing PVC frame for row covers
Adding wood chips around beds

Garden projects in the planning stage for 2010/2011

Walking path through the garden
Flower garden along the walking path
Planting grapevines and installing supports for vines

Dang! I'm going to be busy!
