Collecting Garden Stories
I've been asked to collect some garden stories to share at the Harvest Festival this year.
I would love it if all of my fellow gardeners would sign in and write blogs of their experiences in the garden.
How has the P-patch effected your life?
What have you learned?
What do you grow? Do you share your produce?
These are some of the questions asked...but I think we can all come up with more interesting stories. I would really like to hear from all of you so we can work on getting judkins more notice!!
I really want some quirky stories, stories about previous years at Judkins, stories about why we come back each year to work the soil and grow food.
Plus I'll be coming by to more of our work parties to take pictures and document our year!!

Spring Again!
After a long winter (as I like to call it Snowpocalyspe) I can honestly admit I wasnt sure I would see spring.
In my own little plot I had 20 fava bean seedlings and 30 snow pea seedlings all set and happy....until the second of the heavy snows...mostly what survived was my ground cover and my pansies, hardy little plants, they kept blooming throughout winter even under the snow!
I'm delighted by the new growth I see around the garden, many little bulbs are sprouting and blooming.
Our FoodBank plot has gotten started for the year, we have a goal of 500+ pounds to be delivered to St. Marys. Spring is a time for goals and dreams, setting goals for our garden gives us a chance to dream of the good we can do throughout our nieghborhood.
I'm still not sure what I'll be growing in my plot. I have my pansies, some garlic, some onions, and one fava bean plant....so I have lots of room for new plants!! Any suggestions?
