Permablitz: Community Implemented Sustainable Gardens

From Australia, a simple idea to promote the use of sustainable, home vegetable gardens. Permablitz organizes volunteers to plant a small, edible garden at someone's home in the span of one day. More information.

Tues, Sept. 29, 6pm - Garden clean up

It's time to get the garden ready for winter. We can use as many hands as we can get. If you are interested, we will likely head over to Max & Erma's afterwards to support a fundraising effort by the youth group.

Sept. 22 - Harvest report

The garden has continued to produce tomatoes, squash, and berries even though we have done only minimal maintenance. On Sunday, we picked up the remaining winter squash as well as a few left over peppers and summer squash. This will be shared with the youth group which now meets on Tuesday nights. In total:

-13 spaghetti squash
-5 summer squash
-4 pumpkins
-1 butternut squash
-2 pounds of peppers
-several large sunflower heads

That should pretty much wrap it up for the harvest. Our next job will be to get the garden ready for winter and next year.
