Thank you, Naomi Schmidt, for turning the compost bin! Norman Schmidt is working hard to prepare a bed\nfor carrots, peas, lettuce, and strawberries! He loves to watch the plants grow\nand see the results of his hard work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simultaneously, the perennials are poking their way through the mulched layers, all on their own. The plants of the much sought after red raspberries have emerged with fresh leaves and canes. \u00a0Perky oregano, chives and lemon balm are greening the herb bed, along with the garlic, planted last fall.\u00a0 Under a school-made milk jug cloche, last year\u2019s parsley is growing strong into its second growing season. Biennials, such as parsley set seed in their second year before ending their life cycle. Seed is hope for the future! Slow but good food is on its way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"293\" height=\"132\" src=\"http:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/communitygarden\/files\/2020\/04\/Picture3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/communitygarden\/files\/2020\/04\/Picture3.png 293w, https:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/communitygarden\/files\/2020\/04\/Picture3-250x113.png 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"242\" height=\"169\" src=\"http:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/communitygarden\/files\/2020\/04\/Picture1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-650\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"122\" height=\"235\" src=\"http:\/\/willistonblogs.com\/communitygarden\/files\/2020\/04\/Picture2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-651\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several campus residents are eager to help plant the garden in this season of covid-19.
