The garden is always—even if it is raining! But we had our workday inside so the gardeners didn’t melt.
We still had a lot to do. We talked about our goals for the garden. Some highlights included:
- Making the outside of the garden beautiful
- Keeping the garden organized/tidy around the fences
- Keeping a community engagement focus
- Donating abundantly
We agreed to set a donation goal of 2,000 lbs. for the year. Help us out by logging all your donations and by harvesting regularly so nothing goes to waste.
We also had a spirited conversation about the merits of having teams harvest weekly to avoid any produce spoilage. There were strong points on both sides, but for now no decision has been made. Bring your ideas to the next workday!
In terms of what to plant, February is a tough month as the last frost date isn’t until March 10. That said, for now the weather looks very mild. Plant at your own risk!
It’s the time for potatoes, onions, and leeks. Lots more to come next month, and think ahead—planning your garden “wishlist” now will ensure you save space for all the things you want to grow.
See you at the next workday, March 9 from 9-11!
