Pollinators hard at work: every year we have a few milkw**d that plant themselves inside the vegetable garden. They don’t transplant well, so we just leave them until they’re in the way and enjoy the extra pollinator food.

The weather forecast looks perfect, and the garden grew about 12” last week with all the rain. Can’t wait to get back out in the dirt with all our community volunteers from 10-noon Saturday morning.

We hope to see you back in the garden in the future! (Not this Saturday, though, we are cancelling due to rain.)
