Saturday the 13th

Saturday the 13^th at Riverview. Yes, I am writing this on Sunday when I finally got around to it, but never fear, the details are as fresh as a eighteen month old twinky in my mind.

First of all, it was amazing how many cool volunteers showed up. I think they were all kids attending Fox Valley Tech but I’m not entirely sure. There were far too many to all do one thing so we split up into groups. In my group, we planted things! With me were Dariela, a foreign exchange student from Honduras, Won, from South Korea, and Katelyn, from somewhere else in Wisconsin, why can’t I remember? Oh well. So first we all planted a 500 cell tray of Sedona FI onions. That was tons of fun. 2000 onion plants right there.

Then we planted the last of the shallots, some Italian flat leaf parsley, and two different types of peppers. And believe it or not that took us about two and a half hours!

Some friendly neighbors came over and fed us cookies sometime in the middle of all that which was very nice of them even, and Sarah the seed-saver took cuttings of some pussy willow and distributed it to what I think were her relatives?
