Introducing...The Patch!

(We haven't come up with a good name for it.)

A few gardeners and I have been clearing space for the food bank bed. We've dug up most of the weeds and brought over a layer of compost. I made a little dry river rock pathway for funsies. Recently we planted corn in the circles on the left, a row of my favorite mix of sunflower seeds toward the front [of this photo], and some squash starts. I'll plant some beans and whatever else takes my fancy on the right side of the path. I'm excited to see how this develops. The Patch will mostly be responsibility, so hopefully I don't screw it up!

Intentional snags at the Country Charm Conservation Area in Arlington, WA. Birds love this place, and I want to remind myself to learn more about this place, since it's so local. Observed April 27, 2019.
