Watch out for emails from the garden list over the next coming weeks! There will be several new opportunities for everyone to get involved with the garden, among them being:
1) planning for next season's veggies, 2) making interpretive signs for the garden, 3) creatively coming up with pest deterrant measures (a scarecrow making session anyone?) for this and next season's veggies!
Here's some pictures from the garden this week: (note: I'll jot down the type of season/weather experienced during the week beside the dates from now on!--hope this helps)
the beginnings of a complementary container garden by the beds(the idea being we grow seedlings in the bottles and transplant them into the beds when they're ready)
spinach growing out of a recycled coke bottle
a sea of onion and parsnip tops
a re-mulched 4th bed(we've started using dry leaves around the garden for mulch and found they work pretty, if not, as well as straw mulch for our purposes)
a broadbean flowering
David and Holly
Cath wondering what's happening with the brussel sprouts (the purple leafed veggie) and the kale (the long wrinkled veggie by the right)
Trish cutting up some used carpet
Trish and Amy laying out some carpet on the pathsbetween the beds to smother the encroaching weeds
