Very Pleased!

The Farm is looking awesome!

We have spread two pick up trucks full of compost to use as a topsoil that's rich in nutrients.  Stu and Nate installed a super fly trickle irrigation system throughout the garden in about an hour.  This will save tons of water. This morning I will be picking up my bees at the Gates Mills Post Office.  We will install them Thursday morning into the hive that I decorated with the Hawken logo and a pair of giant bees yesterday with the help of Ms. Buckley.  Hopefully sometime today we will receive a dumptruck full of some woodchips to lay down on the cardboard that we have created our paths borders with.  This is to keep the weeds down.  Hopefully in the next couple of days we can buy cedar and make three mroe raised beds to bring the total to four.  That's the vision.  Also, we're excited to be joined by Mr. Thomas and a group of eighth graders on Friday who will be working on a project yet to be determined for us. 

Have a splendid week!
