Hi Gardening Companions,
It is hard to believe that this Wednesday is supposed to be 80 degrees after this gloomy, cold, Monday but that is what weatherman says so it should be a nice workday!
We got plenty done last Wednesday thanks to help from Doug, Heather, Pope, and Joan.
All of our cool weather crops are now planted, so we have to next prepare the garden to receive the warm season veggies and flowers that we will be receiving from Banner Greenhouses and Lotus Farm and Garden.
We are hoping on Wednesday to have a thorough inspection of our beehive and possibly split the hive.
Cheers,
Steve Frowine, Haywood Street Garden Lead
