Plan, Work, Water

*** Important Update ***
We are going to try to meet regularly on Saturdays at 6pm to work and plan. So, put us on your calendar!

A week ago, we managed to empty the compost barrel and mix the good stuff into the empty spots in the main bed. Then we set some seeds in. I took a chance on summer squash and gave it a large section in the bed, 4x4 feet! I planted flax in various places, just for some color. Other seeds included greens like chard and mustard. As soon as I find the chart I made, I will post it.

The takeaway is that all areas of the garden should be watered, especially the entire raised bed. Please don't be selective and only water those areas that already have plants, or our seeds will never sprout. I also planted some pretty/fragrant things over on the bamboo pile. The bamboo pile is really intended to be for pretty non-edibles that will attract pollinators. I'm not keen on planting food there. This pile also needs to be kept moist so that the compost at the ends will break down, and so the flowers will grow. Don't forget to dump a bucket of water around our mulberry tree, the avocado at the fence, and the eggplant that is kind of hidden behind the mulberry.

Home Garden

I would like to open up this space as a place for our members to discuss their home gardens as well. If you have a home garden and would like to contribute to this space, please contact me and I will arrange it. I think we all have good advice to share on how to garden here in the Melbourne area.
