Dell Barritt helps ‘America In Bloom’ community garden

Becky’s fiance’, Dell Barritt helped out with the installation of the ‘America In Bloom’ community garden. He got up about 5:00 am Saturday and drove the new John Deere over to the community garden lot in Lompoc at the corner of College and O St. and rototilled the entire lot to help prepare it for others. Several 10 ft. by 15 ft. plots will soon be claimed by residents and they will plant, weed and grow vegetables and flowers for their own consumption. Dell also helped auger over 30 post holes for fence posts. Dell was stung by a yellow-jacket and needed much sympathy for the rest of the weekend, not to mention the sore muscles from the augering.
