Those beautiful, scary, unpredicted warm weeks we've been experiencing were replaced by the normal gloomy March chill- though still milder than in past years. Yet, the sun came out to smile upon the Campus Growers mulching and weeding during this week's meeting. A booming thanks to CMLife who not only runs great articles on our efforts, but has donated old newspapers that we can use as mulch. They use soy-based inks, and the papers are safe for garden usage, so no worries as it begins to biodegrade. It'll just turn into good soil. We are, also, enormously thankful for our adviser, Patti, who donated a row of garden fabric that stretched from one end of the garden to the other. We've formed so many paths that we'll have to spend a few more meetings mulching, while numbering plots, and ever forever and always weeding as well.
We planted many rows of seeds inside for our plot renters, and in anticipation of our end-of-the-year plant sale. Included in the 5-7 weeks before planting warm weather crops outside list, we started peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, and purple basil. Soon, we'll be able to start cool weather crops outside. The excitement grows!
Sew, until next time, grow well.
