- Green onions sprouting
- Radish plants
June 15, 2018
Hello,
The plants in the garden are taking off! And so are the weeds! A lot of weeding needs to be done between the plants this week.
We still have some open areas to plant and I hope to get the rest of the planting done Sunday evening before the rain comes. A special thanks to TBH Plant Operations staff member Nina Schueren for all her help watering the boxes and the culinary garden.
TBH Nutritional Services staff Kelly Reid and Tracey Nason have worked hard to plant the culinary garden this year and it is also starting to produce. The food from this garden is used in special recipes we offer in the The Bellevue Hospital's Main Station Cafe, giving us an opportunity to learn new ways to prepare certain vegetables.
Once the strawberries have stopped producing, we will need to thin out a couple of the boxes. If anyone has experience with this, please let me know so I can learn more about thinning these plants.
To date we have harvested about 7 lbs. of strawberries, 24 lbs. of free willy lettuce, and 1.89 lbs. of chives.
If you are interested in helping with our gardens this year, contact me at 419.484.5421.
