work days

Now that the garden is in full bloom, we will be having work days every Wednesday evening at 730pm.  Bring your children, friends and neighbors.  Most weeks there will be something to harvest, and as part of this new community garden, you'll get to take some home with you!  Every week, there will be weeding and other work to do, so bring some water.  


Coming soon - the harvest count!

spring kick-off

The threat of frost is quickly fading, and my seedlings are thrilled.  Many of us have had the opportunity to watch baby tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and other seeds emerge and faithfully grow in our homes.  As much fun as it is to have my dining room taken over by plants, it's time to get these little guys in the ground.  We'll have our Spring Kick-Off next Saturday, 21 May at 1pm.  Invite your friends, family and neighbor to this community event.  We'll transplant, sow, turn compost and find other fun tasks to do.  This will be kid friendly, so give the sitter a break and show your kids the right way to get grass stains.  Of course we'll have refreshments and cold drinks.  Hope you can make it!

it's seed sowing time!

If you're ready to be done with all this cold, white powder, you're not alone.  Spring is certainly close and we've got a seed collection to prove it.  We will be sowing peas in the garden next Saturday, 19 March at 10am.  Construction of our compost bin is also scheduled to begin, so bring your gloves.  Don't have a pair?  No sweat - we'll have a few spares.  As always, feel free to invite your friends to look for sprouting garlic.

first spring meeting

Although our garden is currently covered with six inches of frozen white ice (sometimes referred to as snow), it's already time to start planning for spring.  We will be having our first planning meeting of the spring next Wednesday, 16 February.  We'll meet at Faith Church at 6pm in Room 25.  Hope you can make it!
