next weekend marks the start of the move to the new garden space across from the library and we only have a couple of weeks to vacate the old site...so while i was on campus today i spent about an hour dismantling the beds in the old garden made from landscaping timbers...they have been in the garden for a few years and the bottom timbers are showing signs of marked decay...the others are fine and can be re-purposed for different used at the new site...the deeper beds ( like the one the strawberries are in ) seem like they will be fairly easy to remove but i thought it might be better to wait until a number of people were available to remove them so we could limit damage...they are sturdy and can certainly be reused...once some beds are constructed in the new site we can begin to try to move the garlic and strawberries to new homes...the strawberries are still dormant ( and still mulched ) which may work in our favor...outcomes remain to be seen but the move has begun...there is some time pressure but we have about a month-and-a-half cushion before serious planting for the new season has to start...that's a challenge i am sure we can meet.
