Wowww a lot has happened in the garden since my last post. Here's an attempt to get caught up on what's growing on now that it's starting to feel like spring outside...
The garlic we planted in October is doing amazing!! There's still lots of growing to do before harvest time is here but I'm already looking for ways to use the scapes. The fava beans are also coming up, they're not thriving as well as the garlic but they should pull through. We also planted a whack of tulip bulbs in the fall that are popping up all over the place!
We had a visit from the TELL-3C teacher candidate class last week and they gifted us with two currant and blueberry bushes that we planted together. It was a cold and rainy day, but spirits were high and it's great to have some more berry bushes in the food forest!
Spring planting began last week with corn salad (a super cool leafy green that has nothing to do with corn), and today I seeded the first of our indoor starts in our new greenhouse tent! It may be small but it's very cozy in there and so great to have a greenhouse right on site. We currently have two trays of lettuce, tomatoes, cabbage, and some back-up beans in case the favas don't make it. Tray seeding can be tedious, but I find it very relaxing :)
There's lots of work to do in the next few months as it warms up and everything starts GROWING, so I'm very glad to have such an awesome team of volunteers helping out in the garden. I couldn't do it without them!
Recently: corn salad bed prep, greenhouse seeding, red elderberry leaf flush, and baby garlic 🧄
