Today's activity at the Community Garden

At one at the community garden today, Ellen, Deryn and Ally planted garlic (yay!) down by the older compost pile, and trimmed the greens off some of the kumara, and harvested some kumara (not very productive for the amount of greens, apparently.) These trimmings were put on the younger compost pile. E,D and A may have done more jobs too.

At three, I cut down all the broadbeans near the top of the garden, planted cabbages in amongst them, and covered the broadbean trimmings with grass clippings. I planted coriander along the main path beside the broccoli patch, and filled in some spaces in the broccoli patch with four more broccolis. Then I spread grass clippings around all those plants (and around the lettuces there), plus across the path in amongst the runner beans.

Finally I transferred some green weeds from the old compost pile to the new one, and covered both the remaining grass clippings. The old compost pile is looking delicious.Oh, and I helped myself to a fantastic cauliflower and a broccoli.
