[UUUS Community Garden] Last Weekend

[Greg Pettengill]

I agree, the planting of the seedlings should be the first priority.  That
shouldn't take very long.   But the seeds need to be germinated first and it
will be a couple of weeks before those seedlings are ready to plant.  Part
of the lumber is unused and is ready to be cut, so we can wait on pulling
the nails out of the used pieces, if we wish.   Do you think we will have
enough time to go and get compost from the landfill?
