- Sprouting Asparagus
- 2018 Planting Boxes
- The start of the 2018 Community Garden
- Strawberries starting to produce
May 31, 2018
We did it! Yesterday the Community Garden volunteers planted 21 of 27 available rows in the low lands, set strawberries in the boxes, pulled weeds in the box area, started the culinary garden and planted the marigolds in the pathway containers. Thank you to the following workers: Dave Schmidt, Morgan Nason, Bernie Nason, Tracey Nason, and Kelly Reid. We started planting at 7:00 a.m. and worked until about 2:30 pm for a total combined volunteer hours of 24 hours.
Next week is our first farmer’s market with a chive harvest and bagging scheduled for June 5th at 2:00 p.m. We also deciding what will be done with the remaining rows we have available for planting, but are leaning toward planting bush beans.
Some of the strawberries are starting to turn red, and we got pro-active with the cabbage and covered it when we planted it. We planted purple cabbage this year because it is supposed to be more resistant to disease and insects. We also planted a lot of sweet potatoes this year and hopefully will get a good heavy harvest.
We are always looking for volunteers to help us with our gardens! If you are interested, please contact me at 419.484.5421.
