Here are some images from our last meeting of the year, Dec. 7th.
Our beautiful new sign, created by SPEC volunteers Marcie and Carmen. Thanks so much for your contribution!
Broccoli and Brussel Sprouts still going strong, we look forward to harvesting these in the next couple months!
mmm, already looking delicious...
These were the oats we had planted in September, the most successful of the cover crops we planted. Once turned in, they will help to build the complexity of the soil.
Our gardener Beng, with a celery - harvested in December! Only in Vancouver....
Also parsnips! Although dirty, they are beautiful (and tasty!) A highly recommended crop for winter gardening.
This is one of the many marigolds we planted as a companion to tomatoes and other crops. Now that they have finished their life cycle we can harvest the seeds from the pods for next year.
Just open the dried pods, remove the seeds, and put in an envelope for future use. No need to spend $ on expensive bedding plants.
Our next meeting is Sunday, January 17th at 10am.
Seed catalogues are in, which means soon we will begin planning for next season. Let the fun begin!
