In the last few days, Carl and Val planted tomatoes, sugar baby watermelon, midget cantelopes, zucchini, and threw out some gomphrena and marigold seeds in plot 3. Carl also fertilized all the new plants and mowed and trimmed around the Garden. Leah, Patree, Teresa and Stephanie harvested the back half of the mustard green row and the rest of the Napa Cabbage (37 pounds) and Patree delivered to the Pantry. We weeded around the okra seedlings and mulched, mulched, mulched in the Garden. We sowed some sweet yellow corn in the large south cinder block bed and marigolds in empty cinder block holes. Anthony watered the gourds and beans and sprayed witch hazel mix on the plot 6 cabbage and mustard greens and taste tested the bonsai carrots. Teresa and Stephanie filled large containers with a mix of compost and sand and planted Beauregard Sweet Potatoes in plot 4. Stephanie added a little nitrogen on Wednesday and Osmocote on Friday to all of the raised cinder block beds.... and watered, watered, watered. Starbucks grounds (24 lbs) was added to the south composter along with some shredded paper and 5 gallons of compost.
Next work morning Tuesday May 27, 9 - 11 am: focus on watering, weeding, mulching.
On Tuesday June 3 we will be hosting 10 -15 middle-schoolers from Central Day Camp from 9:30 am - 11:30 am. There will be a few different stations set up for them including weeding, watering, vegetable plant ID games, taste testings, maybe some harvesting.... Stephanie will be there at 8:30 am to set up.
