Well things are starting to dry out a little and I am hoping to take advantage of the break in the storms. On Friday for the work day we can make some new beds in the north field using a whole bunch of composted manure and straw. Sheet composting is an alternative to digging and something we can do even when the soil is wet. Friday will also be a good day to practice some fruit tree pruning and clean up the flower beds.
It was a beautiful day Saturday for starting the Organic Gardening class. I know a few people missed the first class but new students are welcome to join anytime. The focus this month is to make a plan for your garden, purchase
seeds, and start sowing them. After consulting the Biodynamic calender I have scheduled seed sowing for Thursday the 25th (greens) Friday the 26th (fruits such as peppers, tomatoes, and peas) and Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (19,30,31) for sowing roots directly in the garden. Students are encouraged to come on those days or schedule some other times. everyone is of course welcome to join us Friday for the work day 1-5
This week I'll be vising my mom so once again no farm stand this week. (Definitely planning to be open on the 24th) Hope you all are getting excited about Spring and dreaming up a lovely garden!
Enjoying the plum trees in bloom,
Sakina
