Just back from a sunny round of garden visits. It was so encouraging to see how many of you took time to visit your garden plot and get it cleaned up! Thanks to all of you whose gardens look ship-shape and ready for spring plantings. It's wonderful to see the gardens being loved after all the hard work of building them.
Our staff will be sowing seeds on Friday for the first round of seedling give-aways and Spring Gardening 101 on February 23 at the MacArthur Community Garden. Feel free to attend any of the classes, not just ones held at your garden. Also, if you can't wait until March for compost, send me a message and we'll try to get you some earlier. If enough people want it sooner, I can change delivery dates.
One of the fun things I saw in the garden today was a bit of a juxtaposition: frost on the ground and frozen soil and then farther along, narcissus and fuchsia flowering in profusion and blueberry bushes with flowers.See the photos from the Ft. Scott Garden!
