What Was Happening in the Community Garden - Oct. 22

1. The sweet potatoes have been cured and are ready for consumption. The balance of the harvest will be brought to the next work party - Oct. 29.

2. The winter cleanup continues. The ground cherries were composted, hoses were wrapped and stored and the potted raspberries moved.

3. Our greenhouse got a little more organized with pots and hanging baskets sorted and stored.

4. Finally, we began shredding last year's garden waste. The finished product is a finely ground mixture of blackberry canes, vegetable stocks and leaves and small twigs. It will be used as mulch and as a soil amendment.

5. The fall garden run is fully subscribed. The order will be placed on Monday and delivered when Jas can arrange it, hopefully next week.

Next meeting:  Sunday, Oct. 29 at 10:00.
