October, and now November

It has been a very busy last 45 day or so. We finished harvesting the garden - tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, fennel, basil... all very prolific and tasty. We transplanted the entire pollinator garden, and moved all of the food production raised beds. The crews from Civic Works on Ricky Meyer's day of service were a huge help moving soil (and worms and spiders) to the new gardens and our GSB families were instrumental in the design and transplanting of the new pollinator garden.

In our new gardens we have planted white and yellow onions, garlic and pansies to overwinter. We have also planted cover crops in some of the other beds - annual rye, hairy vetch, and crimson clover. We included some 30 day radishes in the beds and canoe garden. We have also planted about 300 tulip and daffodil bulbs between our gardens and the church garden next door. Come on bees and butterflies.

We transplanted strawberries during one of our last E3 Fridays and still have some strawberries and lemon balm to move...

Happy gardening!
