April Showers

Tut, tut, it looks like rain! Thankfully sunshine greeted us for the Easter Hop this past Saturday. Next year we hope to have even more egg-citement.

There are so many things planted I can't keep remember them all--beets, carrots and green beans went in recently. The secret to carrots is after they're planted, cover them with old carpet or burlap to draw up and hold moisture. Check daily after about 4-7 days and remove the cover as soon as seedlings emerge. Keep moist.

Your in kind donations of shovels, hoes, Pulaskis, rakes, gasoline, garden fertilizer, and leaves help keep this garden going. Every week from April til November, about 50 hours of work goes into the garden--your time and effort is greatly valued. And rewarded: the garden produces 10-30 bags of food every week. If you work, you'll get food. And as you work, we hope you're learning, getting acquainted with neighbors and getting some exercise.

We have several fun projects in the works to improve your experience at the garden, and to maintain what has been built these past 6 years.

Make the garden an hour of your week and the garden will help you grow for life. Rain or shine.
