April 6th guided work party report

We had more new volunteers today, and we had perfect gardening weather! The drip irrigation system lines were re-installed in several of the beds, although we still don't have the water turned on at the Garden and the water butt is almost empty. Several more of the beds were cleared of cover crop and weeds, and reshaped ready for planting.  Spinach, Cilantro and flat- leaf parsley starts were planted in the accessible beds, and radishes, Asian greens, turnips and beet were sown in the Four Season Bed.  Further pruning was carried out on the blueberry bushes, and the central strawberry bed was tidied up, with new young plants transplanted into the median strip; this job will need to be finished on Sunday.
