Hi gardeners!

Happy to hear some of you are available this Sunday. I will get some seedlings (maybe some lettuce, broccoli, kale....) and will be there around 9am.

Looking forward to it!

Nathalie

I can come Sun., Aug. 26th.  Would it be 9 a.m. as usual?  I'll get $20. to you.  I don't know what to suggest to plant in late summer.  Do you?  Sharon :)

Hi Sharon,

Yes, it is important to make sure we keep the garden well watered. The first tomato bed we planted does not look so fantastic, but the second one is doing reasonably well I think.

I think we just have different crops that flourished this time around: the green beans have e.g. done real well and we are starting to get some nice cucumbers (the variety is a little different than last year, but they are yummy). I have had 1 tasty zucchini, but I am not sure how much they are producing.

It is hard to tell what happened to the first tomato bed, but  consistent watering is definitely key, and we have to be careful not to uncover the roots of the plants when we do so (some of the tomato plants look like they have lost some dirt by their roots).

Maybe we can get together for another work day in a couple of weeks to add on to the garden. How about trying for Sunday morning August 26th? 

Our funds are getting a little low, so if people want to donate (either $20 or seedlings) that would be great. Also let me know what you would like to see, I can go and get more plants.

Happy gardening,

Nathalie

Hi fellow gardeners,

     I am concerned that our garden isn't flourishing like it should.  When I go to water on Sundays, it looks like it hasn't been watered recently.  I don't know who is supposed to water on Saturdays but I am concerned that the garden isn't getting enough water.  It is a particular concern now that we are having warmer weather.

     I also looked online about using horse manure which we used this planting season.  The article said that it is not the best fertilizer for a garden and if you use to much it can make the garden unsuitable for most plants.  This is because it is high in salts.

     I am just trying to figure out what the problem is and get some feedback from all of you.

Sharon :)

I'll see you at the garden at 9 a.m. Sunday and bring my $20.  Look forward to seeing all of you.

Sharon :)
