Governor’s Vegetable Garden: 2202-04-18

Great day to work in the garden today!  There were 11 of us, and it looked so good when we were finished working.  Terry planted tomatoes.  Potatoes are growing; Al, Paul, and Collin mounded compost, leaves, and soil around the plants.  Carrots, lettuces, and peas and growing. Spinach is ready to pick.  The cabbage patch is lovely.  Charlie brought his drill and put up the rain gauge.  Amy, Jennifer, Lee Ann and Ann weeded, put down newspapers and pine straw around the tomatoes.  Charlie and Collin replanted beets where there were gaps in the rows and also put out red noodle beans on one of the trellises.  Amelia got some great pictures too.

Maybe spring is finally here.

Maumelle Community Center: 2022-04-18

Maumelle Master Gardeners was able to work on our Community Center Project on Monday April 18, 2022. We had the “Bucket Brigade” going and spread two loads of mulch in no time. Had to wait a few minutes for the second load and all the buckets were lined up ready to go, kind of funny looking.

Happy Gardening!!

Shout Out to LR Greenhouse Committee

Hey Guys,

I just want to give a Shout Out to all the members of the Little Rock Greenhouse Committee.  You guys have done a wonderful Job!  I was there purchasing plants this morning and all the committee members were like little Smiling Garden Gnomes running around and helping all the patrons with their questions and plant recommendations.  Great Job everyone!  The plants that I purchased are beautiful.  Thanks for all your hard work on behalf of the Pulaski County Master Gardeners.  You all deserve a Gold Star!
