Waiting for rain. . .
On Saturday and Sunday we put in our garden and the fence. Here master gardener Jaimé and Abdisalan plant one of our "green" seed tapes--constructed of toilet tissue, washable school glue and seeds. We got tons of work done and had lots of help both days. We will probably get back on our regularly scheduled gardening time of 6 p.m. on Wednesdays, starting this week on June 3. We still have a few extra peppers to plant, put some finishing touches on the fence, and water the garden, if it doesn't rain before then.

Planting, May 27, 2009
Yes, it's that time again, guys! We will be meeting at spaces 137, 138 in the Zumbro community gardens on Wednesday afternoon to put in our garden. We have a variety of vegetables this year, including the delicious plum tomatoes shown above, San Marzano, that we started from seeds in the classroom. Other plants from our classroom are Homestead heritage tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and the MOST beautiful Asian cucumbers. We will add homemade seed tapes of corn, sugar snap peas, black-eyed peas, and bush beans. Add to that three kinds of potatoes--Yukon Gold, Russett and red; onions and some seed tapes of lettuce (purchased) and variety lettuce, to name a few. Come out and join us--more hands make less work! We should try to get started at about 5:30-6:00. If you need a ride, let us know. See you there.
