Garden committee members worked hard, in damp conditions, to put the edible garden to bed for the winter and relocate big planters from the courtyard.
-
- Half the team removed dirt and plants from planters inside the little yard.
-
- While the others cut down and cleared the raised beds.
-
- Our goals: To move the planters out of the courtyard…
-
- Pull up…(Those sunflower roots are no joke!)
-
- clear out the edibles…
-
- Replenish all the planters with soil and compost,
-
- Remove the irrigation tubes and prep the edible beds,
-
- plant some garlic (which overwinters)
-
- and broadcast rye seeds
-
- for a cover crop that will improve the soil.
-
- Brie took home the last sunflower…
-
- And the planters are ready to house milkweed and other pollinator-friendly, non-edible plants.
-
- Good as new!
