Soil prep

 Today we choose a bed and prepared it for Spring planting.  We pooled resources and brought along what we had in terms of manure and worm farm spoils - it was great to see some little people getting involved :)

Next step is putting up some fencing to discourage pets, balls and other tramplers, and planting some seeds, coming August 30th!

Working Bee, Sunday 20th September, 10am

OK so it's on again!  We plan to work another bed - thinking root vegetables this time - and have a couple of odd jobs to do, so we are calling a working bee this Sunday (September 20th, 10am) to: Improve the soil in another bed.  Or two.  If you have worm castings, compost or manure, feel free to bring it along.  And something to dig it in with. Make something for the climbing plants (tomatoes and beans) to climb.  We are thinking of making something clever using bamboo!  So if you have access to bamboo feel free to bring some along  Fix the fences we put up a few weeks ago, they need extra stakes for stability.  We will also start on new fences for the new bed.  Spare garden stakes welcome. All welcome, hope to see you there!

Ready to plant some potatoes!

This morning we were busy at the garden fixing things and preparing a garden bed for planting potatoes.  We are thinking of planting Sunday October 11th at 10am... As always some little helpers came along and did a great job! We fixed some fences and made a bamboo trellis for the tomatoes and peas to climb and transplanted a few things that were grouping well to another garden where they had some more space. The Sunday after next (October 11th) we are planning to meet again to make some more fences and plant some root vegetables :)
