This blog has been dormant for too long. Let it be known that Winter hibernation is officially over, and work has begun on the reincarnation of the Political Science garden on Coming Street.
For all of you who are unaware, the Poli-Sci Garden consists of three contiguous 4' by 8' raised beds. In total, we have 96 sq. feet of planting space!
This past Spring and Summer, the plants flourished: cauliflower, mustard greens, dill, green onions, and more. Since they were left free to grow "wild" this past Fall and Winter, we will be cleaning up the beds this weekend, which means we'll be weeding and pulling out the plants we want to transplant elsewhere in order to make room for the new seedlings we sowed last week at Adam's house.
On Saturday, March 26, we'll be painting some additional wood panels white to spruce up the aesthetics of the place (and hopefully we'll be weeding, as well!), and on Sunday a couple of the design-minded members will install the freshly-painted wood panels. The timing for Saturday's garden festivities is 4:00pm, but that could change! Keep your eyes on the blog for more details.
Thank you to all members who have shown up to get this planting show on the road. And remember, no planting or gardening experience is necessary to come out and learn; we want everyone to help pitch in!
Check out C of C Urban Ag on Facebook, too, if you're into that type of thing!
