We spent a good full morning starting to get our beds ready for growing at the Community Garden today! With one staff and 5 families helping out we made great progress!
The first step was digging up the Jerusalem Artichoke Maze and harvesting the roots. Thanks to Alyssa, who took them home, washed them and weighed them up as 32 lbs!!! Our first harvest!!!! Now the goal is to figure out some great recipes for them…
We checked out our lasagna garden bed that we designed last fall, and it was amazing. A natural red wiggler farm! We can’t wait until it’s time to plant the cucumbers and melons for that bed.
Next week, weather dependent, we’ll be preparing our 2 raised beds for planting, and possibly transplanting the tomato starters in to larger containers. Join us in the morning if you’d like to be a part of the fun!
Congratulations on the great blog! I’ll be following with interest.
