We planted lettuce (mixed leaf) in one of VFY's window boxes and filled a couple of other window boxes with basil and nasturiums. We got started clearing a spot to plant pumpkins.
A team member's friend donated slats from miniblinds; we turned those into row markers so we can clearly see what is planted where.
VFW staff provided more paperwork as needed, plus paparazzi services.
June 5 some of us toured the Downtown Marquette Farmers & Artists Market. Questions and observations were awesome. In response to a comment about all the talent and creativity present there, a team member reasoned, "With all this creativity right here, I don't see why we need famous people." Cool. We watched a demonstration of impregnating logs with shitake mushroom spores. We also learned health benefits of and how to preserve and prepare the mushrooms. If you haven't been to the market yet, check it out at the Marquette Commons 9am-2pm.
