 August, October, November and 60 yards of bark has been moved in to cover all our pathways. Could have use a bit more but everything looks great now. Great turnout, too. Everyone worked so well together and had a good time.

 Ding Dong, 2 gophers dead. We've been chasing these guys from box to box for more than a month. The gopher trapping has finally paid off. Good work, Bill and Erica, Rebecca and Daphne!

Sweet potato harvest started today; a total of 45 pounds was collected. The bed was only watered every 10 days or so, due to the current drought. The largest bunches occurred because an olla was set between the plants. Slow and continuous seeping water produced excellent results.

It's a beautiful February Workday and we're cleaning out the orchard. Non-producing trees like the almonds and sickly trees like so many of the apples are headed for the compost bins. Our intrepid tree removal team is on the job! Master Removers, Kristen, Erin, Hunter and Jonas really dig in.
