All things green and beautiful

Hello!
We welcome August with an abundant garden. Last Tuesday, groups of gardeners worked in all three of our plots. In the arbor garden, we harvested broccoli, dead-headed chrysanthemums and calendula, and watered. In the largest garden space behind the Carondelet Center, we harvested chard and kale, watered, and cultivated. In the new Simple Garden plot we recultivated a section and broadcasted red clover seed to be used as a ground cover and nitrogen fixer. Clover grows well and will keep down weeds until we can plant more there. We also created one more raised bed and planted beets.
See you tomorrow (Tues, Aug 11) at 5:30 for our community garden potluck with harvesting, watering, cultivating, planting to follow!
Peace,
Esther
