 Bearden UMC Community Garden - Seedlings 4/21/26 Today, we had some green bean seedling start to appear in bed #10.   We watered bed #10, 11, 1, and 2 to make sure the rest of the seedling come up. We moved the tomato and pepper plant out by bed #3, where we hope to plant them soon. The onion and carrot seedings in bed #4 are doing well.  Worked on another layer of compost in our bins.  The potatoes in bed #1 are looking great.  Thanks, Leigh

On Saturday, our garden friends lay out cardboard and spread these chips.
