Four of us, One big dig!!!

Last night, 4 of us, Andrew, Jackson, Justin and I went out and gardening. It was a chilly night with a bit of sprinklings but our hearts were warm with excitement to another guerrilla gardening activity! It is Jackson and Justin's first time and Andrew and I were so excited and glad to had them with us. It was such a blast last night, words can not describe it!!! 

We first went to this lot that we discovered last week with a all around fence and a broken chain that intended to lock people out. We got our tools and sneak back in that lot. It was going to be our ground breaking night for this new lot but the lot is full of rocks and gravel, just not a good lot to grow anything. We were quite disappointed as we did have high hope for this lot. 

With disappointment and uncertainty, we drove around downtown a bit. Through a friend's tip on this empty lot, we headed to that direction. When we got to this new lot, we first found it hard to dig as the lot was also full of rocks like the last one we were at. Then we found a garden that someone in the area already planted with high metal wired fences all round it. If someone can build a garden here, the soil must not be bad. So we went to the other side of the garden and found this vast space and we sink our fork and shovel in, it sunk and we rejoiced!!! It was a nice ad soft soil that is so easy to work with. 

We dig trenches, placed in potato, filled the soil, watered, documented. 

We turned over circles of soil, place in cantaloupe seeds, smooth the soil, watered, documented. 

We planted 3 long rows of potato and 5 circles of cantaloupes with 6 seeds each circles. 

What a successful dig. It was such a blast!!!
