Welcome to spring! It’s garden season, everyone!
We focused on some major cleanup activities—weeds to pull, compost to turn and sort, and crops to harvest! We also relocated the tires for our climbing vines and did lots of general maintenance. The garden looks spiffy!
Though the last average frost date is next week and we still technically could get a freeze, it’s pretty much all systems go for planting right now. Hold off on the major hot-season plants like peppers and tomatoes outdoors (but start them inside of you want!)
Other good crops are beans, cucumbers, lettuce, kale, radishes, leeks, and more!
We took a vote and overwhelmingly agreed we will now start harvesting everything every workday — unless marked “do not harvest.” We will be getting red and green survey tape: red means “stop, don’t harvest yet,” and green means “thanks for the help, please harvest!”
Thank you Kimberly for agreeing to remake our Community plot markers. These will help us easily identify which plots are a shared responsibility.
We’ll see you at the next workday April 13, from 9-11 a.m.!
