The Seeds are Started!

Plant Starting

Thanks to everyone who helped get the seeds in the soil last Saturday.  We got 19 trays of starts going and they are going!  

 

We started: Bee weed, 5 types of basil, cilantro, echinacea, lavender, oregano, parsley, rosemary, zenia, nasturtium, marigold, 2 types of broccoli, cabbage, cucumber, 8 types of peppers, okra, 6 types of squashes, and 11 types of tomatoes.

We also want to thank The Growing Project for their donation of seeds to our project!

The pictures below are within 5 days of planting seeds!  I swear it is the starter mix Lorraine mixes!

Hoop House

So now that the seeds are going, we got to get the hoop house completed.  We are probably 1 good day away from getting the cover on.  Ideally we would get this done on Saturday, but you can't fool Mother Nature.  The weather forecast is saying up to a foot of snow Friday into Saturday.  So let's be thankful for the moisture as we wait for another day to get this done.

We will not be meeting Saturday!

We Got Money!

We just received notification that a grant from the Larimer County Open Lands was approved!  We received money to get another water pump and raise about 1/3 of the beds to 16".  Can't wait to get the check and get started raising those beds.  We will need some help on this so watch your email for the date!

Blog

Just a reminder to visit our blog.  There is not much in content there yet but we expect it to be full of good information, recipes, pictures and garden ideas when we get really going in the season.  Check it our here  www.MulberryCG.blogspot.com  Remember, we feel the best part of the blog so far is the calendar of events.

If you are interested in contributing, please email Chuck@MulberryCommunityGardens.org  It would be great to get some different perspectives on and about the garden.

On a sad note

Today we had to say good by to Don our earless lamancha goat (the white one).  Don had been diagnosed with a fatal condition and we agreed that it was best that we humanely euthanize him.
