Changes

hi all
fun to see, scrolling down the blog, how the garden has grown from april to july...wonder what it will look like after the 30 trees from the New York Restoration Project are planted.
Ok, we couldn't get those cement planters. They were way too heavy, even the movers couldn't handle them.
Next, with the gift of the 30 trees, I guess we'll have to make a new garden plan or blueprint. Hopefully, Rebecca will do us the honor again...we probably only need to change the position of the planter boxes. And we have to keep the snow clearing paths clear...So far the plan calls for 10-13 trees in what was a playground area...(where the locked up climbing equipment is) and the rest of the trees lining up along e. houston and mangin streets...the trees will be staggered...not exactly in one line. The benefit to this is that it forms a thicker barrier against the noisy e. houston st. The negative is that it continues the long lines of the garden which we had discussed breaking up with planters...
So I guess we need to think about all this.The garden is looking good...we've been very lucky this summer with all this rain...

I still haven't heard back from GreenThumb about our grant application...seems like awhile...
more later...
