The second year of gardening had us filling
many many salvaged glass crates with soil mixed from leaf compost, sand, sawdust and dirt. Along with
the other veggies, we planted corn that year, four whole stalks! It was the best!
Summer 2008, we participated in the
Kansas City Urban Farms and Gardens Tour. It was a smashing success! We spoke with many fellow gardeners sharing tips while we enjoyed
a nice break in the weather. Thanks to Edgar, Alonso, and Abraham who, through the killer heat, helped us put on the
finishing touches .
Cathryn's grandson began digging the hole (when he was nine
years old) and we laid the rubber pond liner three years later. Since we had not bought plants yet, and the algae had
taken a serious hold within two days after filling, we added the muffin and bundt pan "waterlillies"to shade the surface
until the actual ones have been introduced.

Final days of the dig.
Winter
2009-10 brought more snow than memory can recall.
The courtyard greenhouse we put up late Fall 2010. We'll
be starting a lot of seeds here in early Spring.
