Work parties:
400 Block East 23rd Avenue October 21st Saturday 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. November 4th Saturday 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. November 9th Thursday 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. Update: Hey Everyone, Hope you all "weathered" the rain this morning! A huge thanks to Nancy & Tony who did major pruning in the East Cul De Sac & cleaning up of the herb gardens! A special thanks to Selina who gave an excellent workshop on planting garlic …it was so cool! She purchased 3 Garlic Bulbs & showed us how to carefully divide them into cloves that we would eventually plant. So using a grid to keep planting evenly spaced, we planted one plot of 3 different types- Hardneck Garlic: Porcelain, Salt Spring & Red Russia, in 3 rows-6 garlic cloves per row for a total of 16 garlic plants. We figured we would need approximately 100 more cloves to be planted to fill properly fill the herb garden (this is the one closest to the East Side Cul de Sac). Shivs will be placed to indicate types of garlic. I will purchase more at the Riley Park Farmers Market this Saturday and plan on planting them either Sunday or Monday. I'll also purchase some garden stones to place in the Garlic Garden so folks will know not to trample on the plants. That one particular herb plot will be mainly garlic, with some leeks and a few herbs that Mehdi planted. It was so much fun learning this & a big thanks to Selina for being a great instructor. I will post some handouts Selina brought "Growing Great Garlic" on the community Bulletin Board along with a great image of the "anatomy" of a garlic plant. The garden is looking good & we have another Working Party October 21st Saturday from 10:00 a.m.-1:00p.m.! Hope to see you there!! Thanks & Cheers, Marty ps Garlicky is a real word:)
