🌱 Sun July 18, Small Group Gardening Session at RPCG 🌱
Another hot sunny day. The rest of the leek seedlings were planted out (totalling about 75) except for a few that are not yet to size. Celeriac outer leaves continue to be removed to help the stems swell, and more seeds were added to the roots bed which now contains beets, turnips, carrots and rutabaga. We admired the wonderful variety of squashes being grown on the straw bales, and marvelled at the size of the Tromboncino, already over half a metre long!
The harvest included a large quantity of blueberries, raspberries, tayberries, various types of onion, two zucchini, some small beets and carrots, potatoes, lettuces and a large box of arugula which grows wild around the garden! Our compost bin reached a respectable temperature of 115F (46C), so there is definitely microbial activity going on in there. New explanatory signage was attached to the bins today. After the gardening session, we enjoyed a delicious falafel wrap made by Havris.
A huge thank you to the New Horizon Seniors Program for funding RPCG.
