Garden season

We have been making our plans and starting our seeds for the 2016 garden season.  The sitting area has been put to use by some Mesabi classes on our nice spring days.  We hope to see more people enjoying the garden.  Last year a new fence was put up by our starter bed.  We plan to focus on that area with the planting of some perennial flowers, squash, green and yellow tomatoes, and Brassicas which include brussel sprouts, kale, cabbage, kohlrabi, and broccoli.  These choices will allow us to plant May 10 and possibly have a harvest when students return in the fall.  Our second planting in June will include the more frost sensitive plants like tomatoes, basil, and flowers.  We are also going to plant in our raised beds and improve the area that we planted over the last two years, and transplant a few trees.  Those who are helping that day will be hauling soil, digging, weeding, watering, and planting.  Join us if you can, even if only for a short time or to offer encouragement.  Bring your own garden tools if you can (we do have some if not).  Also, if you have any extra of the above mentioned plants bring those too. Let's wait on the frost sensitive plants until next time though.  We plan to start around 10:00.  If the weather is not cooperative, we will try for the next day.  As always send your positive energy.
