Thanks to a generous gift from the Forest Grove Library, the Little Library has some wonderful new titles in Spanish. Here’s hoping it will inspire gardeners to grow more variety.

After painting it a sunny yellow, next up, finish painting the murals with happy colors, plus add a shade tarp over the pergola so we can relax and read about how make to our gardens grow.

Gracias a la generosa donación de la Biblioteca de Forest Grove, la Pequeña Biblioteca cuenta con maravillosos títulos nuevos en español. Esperamos que inspire a los jardineros a cultivar más variedad.

Después de pintarlo de amarillo soleado, el siguiente paso es terminar de pintar los murales con colores alegres y añadir una lona de sombra sobre la pérgola para que podamos relajarnos y leer sobre cómo hacer que nuestros jardines crezcan.

The gardens are almost at their zenith! Just a couple more weeks till those tomatoes are red & ripe and the crops coming in. Looks like most all the plots are going to be productive this season. If you have more than you need, don't forget the local food bank accepts donations of homegrown vegetables. http://tasteandseelocal.org/
Here are some of the glorious growing plots this week...

Oh happy day, the Little Lending Library is open! Thanks to friends and co-gardeners, it has a nice little sign, its nice and sturdy and filled with books, magazines & seed catalogs. Here's hoping it will inspire gardeners to grow more variety. We're still waiting on books in Spanish and for kids, donated by the Forest Grove Library. In the meantime there's lots to read. Next up, caulk it to make it water tight and paint it a sunny yellow plus add a shade tarp over the pergola so we can relax and read about how make to our gardens grow!

Okay, my little plot isn't gonna feed the world but this lady is making it work for her family AND the community. Way to go Maximina! ❤️🌱🌾🍉🍅🌶🍆🥦🥒🥬🧅🌽🌽🌽

The street to the community gardens is slated for paving Mon & Tues (I bet that becomes Tues-Wed with the heat coming this week). So I got out there and got my list done. Planted melon & 'mater starts, staked the co-workers 'mater starts, (I'm gonna be swamped with 'maters this year with 8 varieties!), fixed the soaker hose manifold the neighbor busted and put up a sign that says "leave open, please", sprinkled in beneficial soil bacteria, weeded a little and spread Borage flower seeds. Still waiting on second planting of beans to pop up, but now its time to fill in. Plan on Broccoli Rabe, Basil, Daikon, Bunching Onions and more flowers around the edges.

Just a "head's up"... The entrance to Stites Park is under construction. If you use Hawthrone to 26th street west, you will be blocked by a "no left turn" and flaggers. The best way to the entrance of the gardens is via Main Street (north of the PacU) and east on 26th. The flaggers will let you pass, since the pavers are headed east on 26th. This project is expected to last till June 30th!
