Pulled out last fall's broccoli rabe that went to seed...saving some for next fall and made bouquets...with chive blossoms and Virgina bluebells. Harvested radish, too. Summer is on us!! #communitygarden
We had an awesome #gardensnail collector at the farm yesterday, thanks to a neighbor having a kids music recital in their driveway. #lovethyneighbor #communitygarden
First harvest of the season in the rain! Radishes, arugula, spinach and red lettuce (and carrot tops for the bunny) #springharvest #communitygarden
Help us fortify Prospect Farm! Our #communitygarden is set on a steep hill and we make use of our space by terracing. We have built our walls with stones found on the land and bamboo. But these constructions are highly susceptible to erosion and need to be rebuilt every year. Our infrastructure committee did some research and built a sample gabion — a wall built with metal mesh, wire, and stone. We now want to raise money for the supplies to replace as many of our walls as possible with these sturdier options. Follow the link in our bio to contribute to this fund!
After a few gloomy days, we had a surprisingly nice day for our Earth Day celebration. We welcomed in the community, cleared some beds, and did some more planting. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
Planted some oyster mushroom spores today in the logs from the mulberry tree we cut down a few weeks ago. Soaked 'em, drilled 'em, made a makeshift fire to melt the wax to seal 'em up! #communitygarden @northsporemushrooms
