And away we go ...

The composted manure was delivered today, and the fence and gates reset. Please feel free to use what you need, and keep in mind that there should be enough available for all of the gardeners.

A big thank you to Alden and Niki Veley, longtime Boxborough residents from Burroughs Road, who not only provided (for free) the composted manure, but delivered it personally. 

The pump is also fully functional and working beautifully. Thank you to Boxborough DPW, and Elizabeth Hughes.

ALSO: There was a car parked near the garden on the grass today. This is a big no-no. Gardeners should park parallel to the road, on the garden side.

The photo to the right is a Google Earth photo of Flerra Field. Our garden is in the red circle. The places we are allowed to park are in the yellow boxes. (All bets are off for Fifer's Day, yes, but that's the only exception.)

A quick plea: Everyone will have a different approach to how they run their plot. However, ensuring the Regulations are followed is  part of what Jesse and I agreed to do when we volunteered to manage the garden. If you have any questions about any of the rules, we're glad to talk with you about it. Please just ask.

So we will (and must) let you know if there are any problems as we go, and please, please don't worry about being singled out or feel shy about asking questions. That's what we're here for, and we're always glad to chat!

Meanwhile, happy gardening! We're all set to go!
