2016 Garden Reflections...
Thanks to students Baker Felix and Kiana Martinson, we were able to use our own compost in the raised beds. Also thanks to students Jody Brooks and Ali Ogo, we planted seedlings that we started in the spring and were able to harvest this fall with cabbage and kohlrabi being the most successful. Thanks to past student Alex Crum, community member Marlise Riffel, Jonah Giermann, Jody Brooks, student Ashley Altobelli, Tom Baldwin, Deb Falkowski, and of course Craig and Monica for planting, weeding, donating etc. Also thanks to those who helped keep the garden going in the summer by watering and good thoughts, especially Sue Twaddle and Brenda Kochevar who attend all of our garden events, and to all of the Environmental Science students who planted, weeded, and enjoyed the garden. It was great seeing some classes meet in the garden sitting area. We had four pears, currants, aronia, 2 plums and elderberries, which is great since we just planted them two years ago. We look forward to seeing our new perennials next season and enjoying the last of the kohlrabi this fall, although Jody has dibs on most of it.
