My Signature for the last few years was "just spinning wheels," but after our PDC at Pauls Place this summer I feel like we are finally catching traction. Hope to be threading some more. got a roof on our house, swales dug, and finally starting to work on our plan in more details.

Yesterday. the soil we are using is a noncharged mix (no fertilizer added) and it has microrizon and bacterial cultures. I probably spelled that wrong. As the plants get started we will use organic fertilizers. Plant to grow mostly open pollinated and heirloom verities this year.

We planted broccoli and mustard greens  in the very front of the school when we planted pansies. Really did not expect them to grow but it's funny because every visitor to the school has to walk by fresh food.

Check out the video of our progress and look for new pics coming soon. The garden has been going crazy well crazy for us.

My Signature for the last few years was "just spinning wheels," but after our PDC at Pauls Place this summer I feel like we are finally catching traction. Hope to be threading some more. got a roof on our house, swales dug, and finally starting to work on our plan in more details.

Nice job.  Thanks for sharing.  I'm the garden coordinator for our local school and I love seeing what other schools are doing.

So with school being out I have not kept up with the garden like I should but did make a few update videos. When school starts back we should be back on for Alia or another student to keep this thread up-to- date.

My Signature for the last few years was "just spinning wheels," but after our PDC at Pauls Place this summer I feel like we are finally catching traction. Hope to be threading some more. got a roof on our house, swales dug, and finally starting to work on our plan in more details.
