Good morning, given that the forecast has gone from bad to worse, and we're being bombarded with watches and warnings from media outlets. today's garden workday is cancelled. I hope you and yours are someplace dry. Stay safe!

Weekend plans? Here's what is canceled due to NC Tropical Storm Ophelia Benson Mule Days will be held rain or shine, but several other outdoor events are delayed or canceled this weekend.

Free Strawberry Plants Available

Our strawberry patch was thinned and extra plants were potted and placed on the white picnic table near the well-house. Take as many as you like.

Fun Saturday in the garden: Harvesting summer vegetables and planting collards & rutabaga seeds for winter.

Radishes, lettuce, sugar snap peas, and kale are ready for harvest!

Join us for Saturday’s workday 9-11am

Between all the Friday & Saturday rains we've had, and the soggy ground they've left behind, we're running a little behind with some of our garden tasks. So, we're having a special "catch up" workday tomorrow afternoon starting at 5:30. We'll be doing some weeding, spreading wood chips in the garden paths, and maybe some tilling and fertilizing of beds (maybe even some seed-sowing, if there's time). Come join us!

April showers bring May . . . lettuce, sugar snaps, radishes, and other good stuff! We do, however, need to cancel tomorrow's workday. Make plans to join us next Saturday the 15th!

Saturday's weather cleared up just in time for us to get our lettuce plants in the ground. It was a little chilly, but we got it done!
