What's Up? April 10th

Dear Gardeners,

For our neighbours and DIGS gardeners curious about seeding the community garden beds, here's a quick map of what seeds and transplants were put in today, April 10th at the weekly Saturday work party: (click on pictures below to make bigger, and use back button to return here.)



And here's the map of what will be planted when the weather warms up:


To see the overall seeding plan go here.

Other things that were accomplished today (add to this list by clicking on the comment button, if I forgot anything):

- old composted grass-sod was screened to produce new soil for the potato towers
- kholrabi was transplanted into cell packs in the greenhouse
- new transplants were watered
- there was a fabulous poppyseed sweetbread with almond paste (aren't you sorry if you missed it; thanks Barb N. It was heavenly!)
- a good time was had by all.
hahahhahahaa.
And you thought I was going to talk about PEAS! (ha!) :>)

Jim will be bringing more water today, as our city water is still shut off (doh!) and we should keep an eye on the newly seeded pea beds so that they don't dry out too much during germination.

New sign up sheets for watering and lawn mowing are up.
Lots of fun events upcoming.
Remember to renew your DIGS membership!

Best (and comment if I forgot important things)

    Best, J.
