Next Saturday, June 14, in Salmon Creek Community Garden, Nick Routeledge from Seed Ambassadors and Food for Lane County will be speaking about Winter Gardening. He is a very knowledgeable well traveled man with much interesting information to share. Bring a chair and a pencil and pad for notes! 10 am in the garden.
In photos we have the new compost pile built by 7th and 8th graders in a SOLV sponsored event organized by the Americorps representative Teara Tyler. In 2 weeks the compost got to 125 degrees F! Soon we will be experimenting with our new compost tea brewer donated by Denise Cater of 72 Oaks Bed & Breakfast here in Oakridge.
Last week Mac and David (in photo) planted scarlet runner beans on the north side of the community corn patch. This week we planted pumpkins and hubbard and acorn squashes.
Thanks everyone for making the garden a fun and thriving place! This next week is supposed to be sans rain so it should be a great week for planting veggies.
