HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The garden is covered, all snug in its beds, while visions of vegetables dance in OUR heads…
Seed catalogs are starting to arrive, and the days are getting longer again. Join us at our next garden meeting, Thursday January 13, at 7 PM at the Community Center. We’ll be using our crop rotation design to develop our spring planting plan, so come and contribute your ideas and expertise to making this year’s garden even better!
In the meantime go and check out the cover crops (looking great) and a few valiant greens still struggling to survive this cold spell. And be sure to check out our new composting bins, too! Any compost experts out there willing to spend some time to help in this area? Come join us, and see the meeting schedule at the link on the top of the page.
Actually there's lots going on under all that cover...
