A brief break from the garden on March 16 due to cold rainy weather ........... but the 23rd was a most productive day
Hedges were trimmed
Bed 3 was planted with Sparkler White Top and French Breakfast radishes, some Arugula and two rows of Alderman peas - trellis for peas will be added after germination
the first of our new signs added to the garden
the mini-greenhouse was covered with plastic and added to Bed 3 to warm the soil and keep excessive rain from rotting our peas
looking good

March 9 Back to the Garden
Good to see everyone at the garden on Sunday - and wonderful to be
greeted by the sun ....... our main focus was to weed and clean
......... the garden was in fairly good shape after winter, but time
to rake away leaves and catch those first weeds of the season before
they go to seed
We agreed it was time to relocate the
flower bed in prep for a new veggie bed - perennials will move to Bed
14.
All Purple Sprouting Broccoli was
totally eaten by rodents - but the garlic managed to survive
Our youngest garden volunteer gets
ready to dig in
Some new cold frames - great for
spinach in March and Peppers in the summer
The garden is now looking tidy and
waiting for our first plantings - potatoes and peas - before the end
of March

Interested in Volunteering? First Meet Up March 9th
Join
other like-minded people and grow good food together!
Volunteers
Wanted
There
are a number of community gardens in Vancouver, but most have either
closed or long wait lists.
Spring
is in the air, and if you long to get your hands in the earth, we are
seeking people interested in organic gardening (experienced or not)
to help plan, plant, weed, maintain and harvest our communal garden.
All plots are shared, as is the work load. Those that contribute to
the garden share in the harvest.We meet Sunday mornings, 10 until noon, rain or shine at the garden, so drop in when you can. Our first meet up of the year will be Sunday, March 9th.
Cambie
Square Communal Garden
The
Cambie Square Communal Garden is a communally-run demonstration
garden, located across from Vancouver City Hall, whose volunteers
have a keen interest in food, gardening, biodiversity, and
sustainable systems. Volunteers gather to socialize, share
skills, and support each other while growing together.
