Let's Get Started!

Let's Get Started!!!

So it's time to get the garden started! We will be getting seeds into soil on Saturday. Our goal is to get 20 flats of seeds planted for our garden, BASE Camp gardens and Plant Sale! What's involved in this you ask? Well be will be preparing the starter soil, making planting blocks and placing the seeds in each block.

Since the weather forecast is for sunny skies and temperatures around 60 we decided to go ahead and do this at the garden on Saturday from 10-2. We can use all the help that we can get some come on out on Saturday whenever you can from 10-2. We will have some hot chocolate and coffee to keep you warm if 60 is not warm enough for you. Remember many hands make light work!

Here's some pictures from last year's planting party! We had a great time filling up our propagation mats.













Hoop House Construction


Last Saturday with the help of Cale, Becca, Brian and Erich, we got the baseboards fro the hoop house completed. That is one more step in completing the construction. If we have enough folks on Saturday, we plan on installing the feather boards and the J channel on the sides. If this gets done, then the next step will be to get the cover on!

With the snow on the ground and temps in the 50's we expect the garden to be pretty muddy. If you are willing to help on the hoop house we would definitely recommend wearing clothing and boots that you don't mind getting muddy.
