Community Workday at Teaching Gardens at ZBG

Thanks volunteers for your help this past Saturday! We did post-freeze clean-up before the new year. We had a heap of organic matter to compost and while the garden was sad to see after the freeze, decay is a reminder that renewal is around the corner.

We planted more peas, harvested tumeric, sunchokes, and horseradish. The purple sage was the winner of this freeze thanks to the anthocyanins that help protect it from frost. We also began to prep the soil for spring crops with compost, bat guano, and recycled mushroom blocks. (Scroll down to learn how to get them for your garden.) Join us next week to continue to prep soil for spring.
