Happy radishes!

The radishes are happy a week later. Two or three spinach plants have also appeared. (The radishes have been in almost three weeks.)

Radishes have sprouted!

After the beautiful 70 degrees on Friday, snow fell on Sunday and it was still in the garden yesterday.


Today I walked over to the garden to find no snow and tiny radishes appearing!

Welcome April 2011!

A year ago we barely had the boxes in place in the garden----and now we are checking to see if our first round of plantings sprouted. Our boxes are still without sprouts. It has been in the low 70s the last three days, but this morning I awoke to 5 inches of snow!

Welcoming April is Clint checking out his plot.

Planting!

Today we planted some radishes and spinach. I hope they will be ok....there MIGHT be some snow in the morning!

March happenings

After tilling many boxes March 4, we awoke to almost a foot of snow (!) on March 8. (photo by Clint)

But by March 11, we were back to tilling and planning.

This past week was spring break, so it was all quiet in the community garden. Two of us did an inventory of the shed. I hope to do some planting next week.

Soil Prep

We had a beautiful morning for our first garden party. Snow was predicted, but we were blessed with a sunny blue sky instead.

I decided to turn in the oats I planted last fall and amend the soil with bat guano and bone meal. I plan to let the many earth worms do their thing for a few weeks and then start planting.

Welcome March 2011

March has arrived like a lamb. And some weeds have arrived also.
