The Hawthorne Neighborhood's newest community garden is moving forward. Kevin K. writes as follows:

Well, it's time to start construction of the raised beds for our community garden at 2123 6th Street. Mike Klick, Brian Kallioinen and I went shopping this past weekend and picked up all the supplies and lumber we should need. The first steps involved include: staining the wood and attaching plastic sheeting to one side for water protection.

We plan on meeting this Wednesday evening, 6:30 pm at 411 25th Ave North to begin the staining. Since we can only do one coat that evening, we would also need a body or two during the day on Thursday to do the final coat.

We don't need a huge number of people and it shouldn't take a huge amount of time, but we do need help.

We also plan on moving all the lumber for the beds to the garden site on Saturday. That's going to be a huge work day, so once again we will need a lot of help.

Brian Kallioinen, not Brian Cheese went shopping with us. He is the contractor and member of the environmental committee that is helping us with the garden.

Silly me, assuming when he said "Mike and Brian" that the Brian was Brian Cheese!!!!!!! How could I ever make THAT leap?

Correction made accordingly. Thanks for the info! The insertion of the surnames was done by me, not Kevin when he sent his info.
