Gardener Name(s): Jeff, Amanda, and Catherine Jekel
Level of Gardener Experience: Seasoned Pro
Tell us something about you:
– Jeff: has lived in the DFW area for the last 22 years and is a programmer,
Gig'Em Ags! I also serve as the Treasurer on the OTCG Exec Committee.
– Amanda: attends Brookhaven College in Farmers Branch and plays with her 4 1/2 month old beagle
– Catherine (Catie): lives in Colorado with her mom, will graduate from high school in May, and will then go to UCCS in the Fall after spending the summer in Texas with her father and sister. (Not pictured here, but many met Catie at the Garden Blessing.)
Why did you get involved with the Garden?
We thought it would be fun and a good way to get involved with the community and to meet people. And for an added bonus we didn't have to tear up our backyard just as the grass was starting to grow!
What you are enjoying about the OTCG garden experience?
The people involved are by far the best part of the garden. It has been a pleasant surprise as to how well everybody has meshed.
What's growing in our garden?
Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Squash and Zucchini, Cayenne Pepper, Jalapeno Peppers, and Bell Peppers, Eggplant, Cabbage (not Broccoli) Shallots, and various herbs.
Anything else you wish to add....We would like to see the garden continue to grow (pun intended) with more people and more plots. We hope that it continues to be a wonderful experience.
Stop by OTCG Plots A6 and B6 and say "Hi!" to Jeff, Amanda, and Catie!
