In the greenhouse planted heat-tolerant or slow-bolting lettuces (note that Ashley, Freckles, and Rosalita were seeded about 2 weeks ago, now with about 4 true leaves; all other varieties were seeded on 24May11).  This is a total of 360 plants:

Friday, May 20, 4:00 to 6:30 PM

Four volunteers accomplished the following at the Garden of Grace: 1) fixed leaks in newly installed T-Tape irrigation system on beds A1 through A6 and B1 through B6; 2) planted 9 basil plants amongst tomatoes in beds B1, D1, D2, E1 and C2. Also watered whole garden and did some weeding.

Almost leaks occurred where the T-tape is joined to the manifold. in most cases the leaks were stopped by using two channel lock pliers to tighten the swagged fitting that secures the T-Tape to the manifold.
