This Week at the Learning Garden

Hi folks,
Hold on to your hats! It's a good thing we have greenhouses to play inotherwise I'd just have to go home and hide there. This wind sure is frisky.The garden is holding up well, the row covers are intact and shelteringbroccoli and lettuce.
The peas have a good grip n their trellis' and thecarrots are bravely sprouting. The lettuce and spinach planted under cover amonth ago is looking fabulous and will go into the Earth Day salad. It's been a bit quiet this week as the high school is on spring break.
This weeks lettuce and spinach went to the Redwood Coast Senior Center and Piaci's,both great places to have lunch. Today I started organizing the nursery in preparation of the plant sale on the 26th and I noticed we have some broccoli,celery and flowers that are ready to plant.
If you would like to get someplants for your garden please come by the garden this Sunday in the afternoonf or a little 'pre-plant sale'.
The Friday work days have been great fun.I send many thanks to all of you terrific volunteers for all you do and special hurray to Scott for installing new vents in the greenhouse. This Friday we will continue to get ready forEarth Day and also tend to the Food Forest which needs weeding and prepping.
We also have celery to plant, the turnips need thinning, the old brassicas need to go to the compost pile, and we can harvest lettuce, spinach, cilantro, chardand kale. 1:00 -5:00.

cheers Sakina
