There’s something new in the Chester Eastside-St. Paul’s Community Garden every week. The transplants which soaked up the sun on Barbara’s deck moved to the garden, where over wintered onions and kale are now sharing space with newly-transplanted lettuce. Doug is continuing work on the new pollinator garden and putting in a new trellis.
