Coordinate delivery of compost to supplement soil.

Coordinate delivery of wood chips for pathways.

Install pole tipi.

Hi, Elizabeth.

Do you mean for comments to come to you or be listed under 'comments'
on the blog site?

Two notes:

Wood chips, in my experience, make less-than-perfect paths around children. They get kicked, come home in shoes, get washed away. For
good solid paths, I have always had good luck (luck?) with DG,
decomposed granite. It compacts well and, although it doesn't do well in a place like Portland, OR, where there is constant and, sometimes pounding, rain, it does very well in our climate, and only needs to be replaced (or bolstered) maybe once or twice a decade. HOWEVER, this is anecdotal experience and I'd ask a our MASTER GARDENER, Jill, her professional opinion.

I would be happy to donate the pea and greens seeds needed for the
garden kick-off.

Thanks,

Rooh Steif

ps - nice blog!
