Second Seeding Plan Feb 13th

Dear Gardeners,
See above for revised plot plan. Just click on it to make it bigger (and then use the back button to come back here.)

And for those with colour printers, there's a revised plan identical to the above jpeg, but in pdf for printing or emailing at our file section on the PI email group.
So well, gosh, we only made one small mistake on our first seeding plan. We put Peas in the same place twice. So if we just switch two beds that are next to eachother, the plan will work. Each plan is numbered, so like revised editions, we can just keep correcting and printing as we go, and keep one up on the tack board in the garden that we can refer to when we're actually gardening.

We met this morning for a general walk-through and tidy-up and did both! The walk-through was super fun, and the tidy up went quickly.
With two pitch forks a nice group of people turned over the green manure crop to give 2-5 weeks of composting of the winter rye before planting. Thanks you guys!!
We also discussed some fun ideas for this summer, to do with experimental beds, hanging strawberries, growing asparagus in a yearly bed (which apparently needs to be quite deep for the "tap root") and other tid bits.

Here are some pictures. (click to make bigger, then use back button on upper left to come back)

One idea I had today, (while gazing in awe at our garden) was a symbol that could be used on a signpost in a bed that would say "Water this bed" or "Please DO NOT water" for our summer waterers to see. Hmmmm. Maybe plywood? Maybe sticks in beds? But the symbols could be something bright and noticeable like these:





They could be on painted plywood, or even laminated on tiny cards that are stapled to stakes. This is to help all the different watering people to the invisible seeds that may be below a dry garden bed, or the need to stop watering garlic or carrots, or what have you.
Please feel free to post anything you like to this blog.
We all want to communicate so much it's easiest to have a space to do it, with everyone pitching in.
I'll have some photos later, and thanks again for today. So lovely. Spring is so exciting! Best, Jen :>)
