LET’S GET IT STARTED!

It’s that time again, and many have been busy in Birch Lane Gardens already! School starts up a week from today, and our gardens are looking great due to the summer care they received from: Soji Howe, Tara Diel, Carol Joyce, Stephanie Moss, Eleanor, Robyn Waxman, Craig and Autumn Labbe-Renault, Angie Purves, Cathy Ishikawa, Shari Walter, Michele Long, Rosanne Testerman, Anna May Testerman and Karen Farley… I may have missed someone, and if so please let me know! GREAT work people J

Most of the classes will have something to harvest as soon as they get garden volunteers to get gardening happening! I’m seeing a lot of basil and tomatoes, with corn, squash and beans (Three Sisters) in there as well! Take some time to tour the gardens, and let me know if you want me to lead it!

For those with gardens ready to plant, here is a fall vegetable planting chart to check out: http://redwoodbarn.com/PDF/fallvegchart.pdf  We need to start seeds ASAP in the DHS greenhouse. There’s also some general housekeeping we need to get done before next week.

So, let's get it started!

Thanks,

Debra Ariola
