REGULAR MAINTENANCE CHORES TO BE DONE ON REGULAR BASIS:

Grass needs cutting outside as well as inside fenced area (probably best to use a hand mower on inside until we get the whole area covered with mulch) WEED-WACKED around fencing by garden beds, EarthBoxes and along neighbor's fencing side Grass & weeds need pulling from garden beds as part of regular maintenance (they can "choke" out the young plants, stunting their growth) Check plants for unwelcomed bugs and disease Make sure plants get plenty of water on a daily basis until they get bigger Vining plants such as squash, cucumbers, tomatoes & melons should be 'staked-up' as they grow

Update
  • Installed birdbath and birdfeeder
  • Planted 2 vegetable beds
  • Installed 3 more planting boxes
To do's

  • take pictures of some children planting in the Children's Garden Bed for our online album and website.
  • have mulch & compost delivered
  • put up the trellises in the cucumbers and squash beds as well as along the row of EarthBoxes with the tomatoes.
  • two EarthBoxes for Okra which have been rolled out from the back of Sadiq Mosque that need to be picked up ASAP in a truck and brought over
  • Design and make the trash recepticle.
  • Level the parking area, and make the parking lot cinder-block 'fence'.
  • Get some type of signage.
