Spring!

[jenny jobarteh]

Dear all,
 
Spring is here - some of the bulbs we planted in the fall are already in bloom! I am starting a project with my son's pre-k class; the kids will start seeds indoors and we will transplant them in the garden later. These are the seeds I have and that we will plant next week: Borage/Starflower, Sunflowers, Nasturtiums and Calendulas. The Calendula seeds are from the plants that Beth brought last summer and I already tried them at home - they germinated in 3 days!
 
Feel free to start something similar, just make sure nothing is poisonous - you can always double-check with me.

Oh, and I forgot, we are also planting Hollyhock seeds!

Thanks for sharing these pics!

A neighbor from Pavonia Ave who works for Goldman Sachs, with support of HPNA has put in a proposal for a community service project in Enos Jones. He is in the process of contacting Director Hadley for finalization of his proposal. I will keep you posted when I learn more, perhaps this project can include some of the things our garden needs.

Great news Amy!
 
The sign is up! And so are a lot of our bulbs, and the perennials are already starting to come back.

There's something special about seeing the first flowers of spring in our city and neighborhood, and extra special in our community garden!!!

Also not to forget to mention the thousands of bulbs planted citywide from the BIG DIG!
You can now see the flowers have emerged at the entrance to Enos Jones in the raised bed where the John DeSalvo memorial plaque is--thanks to all, great job!!!

Best,
Jan
