Bee doing what bees do Sept 2, 2015	Shorter Cable = Easier Access Sept 3: Kudos to the awesome folks of City Public Works! Monday, an email was sent to director Mike Moulds with an idea to shorten the cable and provide an opening for people to enter the garden without needing to jump over or go under the cable And today they did it! We got this idea when watching elderly neighbors struggle to get in the garden because they were afraid to step over and not limber enough to duck under! The support we have gotten from the city on the venture is heartwarming!	Shorter Cable = Easier Access Sept 3, 2015

A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest.” Today we began the process of pulling plants that had been harvested heavily to make way for some new seeds. No more peppers. They are being composted and radishes will take their place!

winter wheat 2.jpg	SU Volunteer Julie.jpg	October 2, 2015 The carrots are doing well now that the radishes have been harvested. We plant radishes and carrots together. The radishes grow first and fast and shade out the weeds till the slower growing carrots grow. Then when the radishes are harvested the carrots have room to grow and usually do without weeds!
