Mount Holly Community Garden Update - Week of June 8, 2020


It was still cool this past week but it gave us a chance to catch up on garden construction.  This week we added a water tower with 275 gallons of water storage and finalized the electric fence installation.  We are still short on chicken wire by about 70 feet (if anyone has any please send it our way).  

We planted additional peas and beans this past week also. Things are finally starting to grow!  

This week coming up we will be planting cucumbers, zucchini, and squash; as well as more lettuce and carrots.

We could still use a hand rototilling the squash beds.  Please email us at mthollycommunitycares@gmail.com if you can help us with this and are willing to donate a couple hours of your time.  Thank you!

"Till" next week,
