Your presumption is incorrect. 

First of all, from what I can tell Candace only had the gas locates done. I think we need to get locates done for hydro as well. In addition I think that most of us do NOT know where it is safe to dig deeply. 

Having said that I don't know much about the locates process. Could somebody enlighten us as to what exactly needs to be done?

Secondly, I think that the wood Carolyn brought was intended to get us started with raised beds. Is that still the plan? If so what else will we need to get this going? Big long nails? Hammers? People who know what they are doing?

Given that the plants are going in the beds soon I think it would be excellent if we got started on raising beds this week. I don't know whether that is feasible. 

Weather permitting, I am hoping to be at the garden this week somewhere between 5:30pm-6:00pm. Will you be there too?

In terms of the fence, I definitely think we should get the locates done for the hydro. Are there other locates we need to worry about?

P.S. Thanks so much to Carolyn for getting us the wood. You are awesome.
