These are photos that my mom, Anna Lisa Kronman took on Saturday's work day with the exception of the first photo of me, standing in the garden, working on the bottom row of blocks on the WEDNESDAY before our work day. By Sat morning, we had finished the bottom row and most of the curves for 2/3 of the garden. Only the beds that had that bottom row got walls built

The blocks arrived at 6:30 AM. Mark, I and Dennis moved the first pallet before Mark and I had breakfast. 2nd, 3, and 4th pallets were moved by Mark, Rachel, Allison, and Joe before lunch. After lunch, pallets 5 and 6 were moved by the same gang with the neighbor Steve helping as well. We were done about 1:15 pm. The blocks from very last pallet are in the garden already. Monday afternoon, after work, we hope to lay sand in the trenches and lay the first course of blocks before Saturday's work day. IF we can finish that step, we might be able to finish all the walls for the whole garden!! Laying the first course takes the most time to get each block exactly level

6 of the 15 pallets are here! The pallet that is opened is already moved toward the garden, current holding spot is just across from the sandbags

The first delivery of blocks are arriving this Sat, March 25! Maybe we can move them up to the garden before the work day on April 1
