Next up let's hear from Michael!

Michael reports, "I worked outside with the dirt. I did digging, used the shovel, it was a small shovel and covered the dirt. And the lady named Candice helped me get the leaves out of the flowerbed." "We put the white cover up to keep the bugs or the squirrels away."

Thank you Michael for being a great Green Thumb Gardener!

Sandra has something to say!

Sandra was asked "did you go outside in the garden"? With enthusiam she answered, "Yes I did"! So let's hear about it from the mouth of Ms. Sandra.

"Well, we take picture, volunteers came out, took pictures, we helped out and Ms. NeeNee came out with us and the little girl (her God-Daughter) and the little girl's momma came out to help put the seeds on the dirt and spread it by putting seeds on your hand sprinkled out (in the dirt)." She was asked what happened after she sprinkled the seeds, Sandra replied "the volunteered but I didn't water". She just put the seeds in the dirt. 

Thank you Sandra for being a great Green Thumb Gardener!

On 4/25/24 we had another community volunteer and her daughter – Shae and Maori’.

 

Thank you Ms. NeNe and your God-daughter for being 

Great Green Thumb Gardeners!

Now, let's hear from Brian!

"Brian, did you go outside to garden"? Brian replied, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Brian watered and planted the dirt into the ground (raised garden bed). Brian reports, he liked doing that activity by say "good". "we watered the plants." "I did grab my gloves (brown) out of the bag" which was the first order of business. He stated the gloves were "to plant". and protect your hands from the dirt. Note worthy information friends, get those gloves to keep your hands dirt free and protected.

Thank you Brian for being a great Green Thumb Gardener!

Let's chat with Burnella! While Burnella has not gone to help in our Green Thumb Garden yet, she hopes to soon when it "get's really hot enough". Let's hear what Burnella has to say.

Burnella reported, "it was cold there so I stayed in the building." Burnella also reported she hopes to get out in the garden when the weather is warmer and hot.  She stated she'd like to "plant vegetables like "corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams". 

Burnella is all about green, bean, tomatoes and potatoes, potatoes, potatoes... of all kind!

Thank you Burnella for being a great Green Thumb Gardener!

Hello Aubrey, what are your hopes for the gardening project this year? Aubrey: "Helped Michael and Brian in the garden, put the water on the plants" So, Aubrey did the watering and stated "yep, I put the water on the plant". So that's important to water our plants, right? Aubrey stated, "yep". He also said he watered them "a little bit". 

So friends, a "little bit" goes a long way if your consistant with caring for those baby plants to grow nice and tall. 

Thank you Aubrey for being a great Green Thumb Gardener!

So, today we did a new thing!  Green Thumb Garden Group took more picture of the garden. Unfortunately, we discovered that our furry squirrel friends decided to remove the net and have a hot diggity dog dig day. From the deep dig I can tell our surviving crop will be very tasty. Yum! We closed out our day with "importing" pictures and a little editing. Pictures soon to come.
