Thanks to everyone who helped this week. Linden garden was completed and winterized. It looks really great. Silverton got a new garden this week. Volunteers helped install the boards, dig up the plot, and prepare our pumpkin patch. What a help they were. Our plan is to heavily plant the hillside at Silverton to create a nice big pumpkin patch. Hopefully, the pumpkins can be used not only by Silverton students and families, but shared among the community. I imagine even having a pumpkin patch sale or give away. It would bring the community in and might sponsor some more progress.
The kids got messy finally. They used their hands to till and turn our soil. They helped to winterize the garden by applying compost and straw to the beds. I wanted to explain more about the process but I could tell they were cold. More events to come in the future. Its only winter and I can't wait for spring.
HELP: I need some seeds and plants. This is a call for donations and networking. We need to find some supplies for our gardens. I am hoping to plant lots of peas, spinach, and radishes come February. Our gardens will be sleeping until then for the most part. Contact me at extension 1087 or by email jeremy.katz@ocdc.net...lets collaborate.
