Finally some Rain after the Heat!

It looks like all the plots made it through the heat wave and are enjoying the rain, I know my vegetables were getting very wilted and fried from the extreme heat.

I hope everyone is enjoying the garden and has been able to harvest some delicious treats!

Don’t forget to make use of the herb bed, we have an abundance of herbs so please take some.

If anyone has questions, comments or gardening news to share, please let me know at mbachtol@cwmars.org

The Gardens are Sprouting!

This rainy weather has been great for the garden, lots of green sprouts popping up all over.

I’ve noticed some really nice pea plants up at the garden, so if you haven’t planted your bed yet, make plans to start soon!

The communal Herb Bed, plot #2 is ready for planting. Marcella already transplanted some nice contributions, and I’ve been promised some Lemon Balm to put in. If you have any favorite herbs you’d like to share with everyone, please put them in plot #2.. anywhere in the bed is fine, just mark your plants so they don’t get tilled over.

This year, we are going to use plot #2 as a communal herb bed.
Matthew will prep the bed for planting, and I encourage everyone to put in one of their favorite herbs.
Everyone will be welcome to harvest from this bed throughout the season.
