Our next Garden Resource Day will be headed up by Taylor this Saturday, March 10 from 10am-1pm at the Ft. Scott Community Garden. I'll be away on vacation- please introduce yourself and get some seedlings (3 pots or 1 6-pack) and compost. Seedlings available:
sugar snap peas
cauliflower
purple sprouting broccoli
spinach
romanesco
lettuce
4 6-packs that may include: chard, kale, arugula, romanesco, spinach and cilantro
For new garden members, I wanted to describe what to expect at the different dates:
Garden Resource Days: at the Ft. Scott garden you can drive down Wisser Court and find us. We'll have 4 gallon buckets of compost (3-4 available per garden plot, supplies limited) and some seedlings set out (3 available per plot). Check in with the staff on duty then take what you need. If you borrow our buckets or pots to transport your compost/seedlings you will need to bring them back to the garden.
Evening Garden Visits: Similar to a garden resource day, but we come to you! We visit each of the satellite neighborhood gardens for 1-2 hours and have buckets of compost and some seedlings available. We're also there to look at your garden with you and answer questions.
Pizza Potluck Parties: A chance to gather and celebrate with community garden members and volunteers. I make homemade pizza dough 3 days before (it has to cold-ferment- so RSVP's are important), we collect any toppings from the garden we have, share homemade sauces, some store-bought cheese, and hopefully have enough greens to make a salad. You bring your place setting, beverages (adult bevs are fine), layers to keep warm, and something to share. Additional pizza toppings are welcome as well! Guests make their own pizzas and we cook them in the wood-fired cob oven. Everyone usually shares their creations and it's delicious!
Spring Planting Cutoff (April 17): Plots should be weeded, paths should be weeded, and new, visible spring vegetables should be growing (so don't put seeds in the ground on April 15).
