Starting Herbs for Spring Plant Sale
Sage, thyme, rosemary, oregano, lemongrass and lavender. Last weekend, Jennifer Woertz starting seedlings of each of these herbs in anticipation of the upcoming Spring Plant Sale. These herbs take at least 4 months to mature into something that can be sold.
If you would like to help, Jen is looking for 7 people who can each take a day to water seedlings. Also, other herbs will be started at the end of November if another person could volunteer for that task.
Amazing Papaya at Sunshine
The beautiful papaya fruit are ripening in a certain plot at Sunshine Community Gardens, and we all hope that the fruit is ready before the first freeze! Kudos to the tenacious gardener who got these small trees to flourish!
Please Move Stored Tomato Cages
The area west of the tool shed is not a storage area, please claim your tomato cages or they will be moved to the give away section.
