2012 garden applications!

Garden applications for 2012 are here!

 

We made the paper!

Thanks to the Pioneer Press and the Gateway Trail Association for the lovely words and pictures highlighting the garden in the article on the Gateway Trail in Sunday’s Life section.

A cold and frustrating month of May

It’s rained every weekend this month and nights were in the 40s into the middle of the month.  No planting again this weekend, but we have organized our donated seedlings and they will all be distributed by next weekend!

May work day

We had a great day on the Saturday before Mother’s day and made a lot of progress.  A bunch of our new gardeners came and tackled the remaining highbush cranberries along the fence.  Hello, more raspberries and strawberries!

We’re off and running

We spent a few hours at the garden this morning. Brian trimmed the raspberries and roses and planted the new hydrangea we got from the Macy’s Flower Show.  I planted about 200 forced daffodils from the Flower show with the help of a young neighbor named Kai, who uses the trail and enjoys the garden.  (See Flickr stream for more photos.) Thanks, MN Green for the new plant material.  Several gardeners have started planting cool season crops. We hope the water will be on next week!
