The weather continues to disappoint; unexpected low temperatures and practically nonstop rain have forced the EHCG Garden Committee to postpone the cold-weather transplant sale as well as the compost sale by one week. If you are a gardener at EHCG, you should have already received an email from the registrar explaining this change in programming. It's not ideal but I suppose that we all have to meet Mother Nature halfway; we are on her turf after all.
I'm going to a strategy/planning meeting with several first time EHCG gardeners later this week, some with previous gardening experience and some without. Altogether we will be drawing up the plans for three plots: two half-plots, and one large plot (mine). After this meeting I will record the final decisions, and post the plans here to serve as general guides or springboards for those who may find it useful.
Try to stay warm and dry this week; if we get lucky next weekend (April 20-21) will be better suited for starting our spring crops.
Edit: one of our gardeners and fellow Garden Committee member Karen ran into the folks at Garden-to-be and confirmed that the following plants will be for sale this Sunday:
Broccoli, Green cabbage, Red cabbage, cauliflower, lettuces, kohlrabi, kales, collards, violas, sorrel, and some herbs.
I look forward to a nice turnout this weekend!
