The State provided cleanup help to Vinton in the form of some Anamosa State Prisoners. Last Friday and again on Monday, they were helping at the Youth Garden. They took the brush that was about 6″ in diameter and smaller and fed it into a chipper.

Martha, our Super Helper, is on the left. She isn't part of the Anamosa Prison contingent, as far as I know....

This is a brand new chipper that Vermeer sent to Vinton. I'm a little unclear as to whether the State or the company brought it in, but it was working overtime all over town.
The view is a lot better than last week…
The Garden is starting to look like we can get (somewhat) back to normal. Lori, Martha and I were at the Garden today spreading the mulch around and weeding. Martha is already looking forward to when the kids can take the extra produce to the Farmers’ Market!
Dig it!
