And we have a baby zuchini!!! This cold and rain has slowed a few items in the garden but has certainly made it easier on those signing up to water! Consider signing up for a time this July to water the garden, check out this list link to signup :) volunteersignup.org/8QMWJ

I brought my littlest gardener with me today! We tested out the new shrink hose which should make watering a breeze, no more kinks in this hose!! Also look at those potato plants starting to poke through the tires! Looks like nature will take care of the watering the rest of the week. Feel free to walk by and check out the growth!

Lots of things sprouting at the Falconridge community garden this year! We got spinach, radishes, peas, tomatoes, peppers, squash and more! Come check us out and consider signing up to water! https://volunteersignup.org/E7E8B

I want to show you how home grown stands up to store bought. These beans were bought and picked the same day can you guess what one is from our garden and what one is store bought? Our beans are grown in a raised flower bed so it’s easy to have a little flower bed to grow some

We have loads of free mulch to give away! Cmon down this weekend to pick it up before its gone. Got blueberrry plants? take some of the needles to add some acid to your soil for good growth!

Did you know there are white strawberries? Apparently they taste like pineapples. Time will tell as white strawberry plants have been planted at the garden! Here is some fascinating information on the science behind white strawberries!

one week to go! the rain has made our job easy this week and we already have lots sprouting! come check out the garden at our Grand Opening this coming Saturday. Free food and activities for the whole family!

Don’t forget our grand opening!! We have lots planted and lots that are sprouting. There will be a bbq pot luck and lots of free activities. All we ask is bring a side dish and a smile!

Garden is looking great after plant day! We planted strawberries, peas, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, herbs, flowers and more! Thanks to everyone who came out and helped.

Just a reminder this morning. Show up when you want to help plant and see the garden. Hope to see some folks there!
