Community Garden March-April

There was a lot of work on the community garden in the past month, planting stuff for a spring/summer harvest. Most stuff was planted the last two weeks in March or first week in April. Including:

Beans planted from seed next to the onions.

You can see we used a lot of hay as mulch this year, which should protect the soil (keeps it cool and moist).

There are also several squash plants, but I didn’t take a photo.

We had a weird end of March where there was a cold front for a day or two and we had a little frost, so some of the seeds never produced and we think that was why.

The peppers were all plants, but the beans and squash were from seed.
