Community gardens have been planted and the corn is tall enough to be rowed thanks to the labor of Tom Tanner, Larry Bartlett, Jim Reid, Brad Goff, Kathy Knutson and Richard Henningfield. They were seen tilling the soil again this week and hope to plant another crop in the next few days. In addition to the community corn plot, green-thumb residents have individual garden plots to make for a large gardening area inside the Cottrell Walking Path.
