Hi everyone,
Lara and I continue to plant seeds for Marthas Table in the centre garden . There are now 3 types of lettuce, snap peas and snow peas in the bed. There is also some Swiss Chard and Mizuna greens(is that right Tracey?) PLUS many strawberry plants on the east side of the bed for nibbling next year!
To accomodate everything we are trying to grow plus leave space for extra planting, we've taken out (or mostly taken out - a few remain to be taken) the perenial flowering plants on the north side of the bed. At first we had anticipated handing them over to the 'Brock Street Flower Bed Team' (they are all potted in my back yard, awaiting soil) but it occured to us that most of the plants are large enough to be split into many small plants and that a 'Plant Sale' may be a good way to raise some money towards building the new beds. In addition to these plants, I also have Hostas that need splitting (of course) and other plants in my garden that need thinning.
How does everyone feel about this idea?
There's a meeting scheduled for Sunday the 18th. Could we hold a plant sale in the garden that day...meet in the morning perhaps...any other ideas? I'd be happy to make a sign and poster the area to let residents know. If everyone thinks this is a good idea, would anyone be available to help out with the selling that day? If people are planning to be in the garden that day maybe we could rotate shifts at the sale table and sell thru the day.
Cath
