We had a fun and successful plant sale today, even in the rain and slippery mud. And we'll let everyone know how much was raised to support the DIGS garden. Here are some photos of what it looked like today. Such glorious plants and greenery. Thankyou to everyone, especially Jim and the DIGS volunteers!
Note that if you took home transplants such as Tomatoes, Basil or Peppers, or other heat-loving plants, that you'll want to keep them warm at night until the weather gets much warmer than it is at present. Look for night-time temps of consistently 10 degrees C before you set them outside overnight.
The DIGS Community greenhouse was where we were protecting all the crops from this very cold spring. Once those plants are outdoors, the greenhouse will be made ready for ground-grown summer crops such as Melon, Eggplant, Peppers and Tomatoes.
We're also planning a field trip to see the new big greenhouse at the Nanaimo Community Garden.
Thank you, Jen, for capturing the garden in its wet but lovely splendour on this special day - the DIGS Annual Plant Sale. It was another successful sale in spite of the rain. Kevin told everyone that stopped to pay that there was no extra charge for the watering.
