More to Sow, More to Transplant - July 31
Still time to sow some fall veggies ... Purple Top White Globe and Tokyo Cross turnips, Toy Choi and Giant Red Mustard
We harvested the garlic bed last week, added a full bin of compost and today transplanted brussels sprouts seedlings into the bed - they should do well with the lime provided by the plethorea of eggshells - if we can keep the slugs at bay!!
We also transplanted purple sprouting broccoli seedlings and did our last planting of pole beans with fingers crossed for a wonderful autumn .....

Building a Westside Kitchen Table - A Potluck
Hey gardeners! Here is something you may want to join in on, especially if you live on the Westside and are concerned about Food Security.
Building a Westside Kitchen Table: A Potluck Conversation about Your Connections with Food and Community
The Westside Food Security Collaborative and Kitsilano Neighbourhood House invite you to a vegetarian potluck (please bring a dish to share if you can) on August 3, 6-8 pm at the Neighbourhood House Hall, 2305 West 7th @ Vine. If you grow it, eat it, sell it, make it, serve it, throw it (or just plain love it) please join us. ...The evening will be an open space; come talk about what’s important to you about food on the west side with others who share your passion as we build a west side “kitchen table”. We will have graphic recording, a children’s table, and opportunities to learn about and get involved with the Westside Food Security Collaborative. All are welcome whether you work, play, study, volunteer, visit, or live in the west side.

More to Harvest More to Sow - July 24
Summer has finally arrived - and the plants are loving it ...
Our harvest today included lots of garlic, spring onion, potato, golden beets and kale.
The radish seed pods are growing plump and we have both cherry and roma tomatos set -
the sunflowers are amazing - and the dwarf plants should be flowering by next week.
We also discovered something new to us - a garlic bulb setting baby cloves up its stalk -
Also sowed more beets, green beans and a first sowing of watermelon radish - these should all make for a bountiful fall harvest along with our lacinato (dinosaur) kale
