Yes, I think the best approach for the garden project would be to start with the soil preparation this weekend. We need to turn over the beds and add compost before the weather shifts. I picked up a few bags of organic material from the supply center yesterday. The forecast looks good for Saturday morning so we can work outside without issue. Let me know if you want to borrow my extra set of gardening tools. I have an extra rake and a sturdy pair of gloves you can use. We should also map out where each plant will go before we start digging so everything has enough room to grow properly. The seedlings should be ready to transfer in about two weeks if we get the beds ready now.

Yes I wass wondering the same thing. Regarding the team outing next month I think we should consider the hiking trail near the reservoir rather than the beach location. The trail has shaded areas and a picnic spot about halfway through which would give everyone a chance to rest and chat. I called the park office yesterday and they mentioned that the trail is in good condition this season. We could also arrange for a small catered lunch at the shelter near the trailhead. Let me know if you want me to reach out to the catering company we used last year. I think their pricing was reasonable and the food was well received by everyone. I can send you the contact information if you need it.
