time to get to work

the compost all has to go somewhere.

supply of peat

this house has a good supply of peat.  When they cut it, it gets stored in plastic bags or gets piled up and tarps placed over it.  Some people sell by the bag.  People here burn it for heat.

a flower and a bee

yesterday I went to the community garden area to put some stuff in the compost bin.  When I got there I was surprised to see a flower sticking out of a bin with a bee busy working away.  It was rather nice out but the cooler temps and rain are supposed to return for the weekend. 

preparing the bed

a few people who showed up Saturday, came prepared to get their plot ready.  Here this gentleman is spreading a new layer of compost on his bed.  It is still too cold to plant, night temps are currently running between 3C - 1C.  Sometime next month it will be time.
