Back to Winter

Welcome back everyone. Hope you all had a great break and are getting settled back into university life for the winter quarter. Most of us were gone for a few weeks over the holidays, including myself, and the garden was left to its own devices for that time. Over break there was a bit of rain and several days of very cold temperatures, along with the fact that during the winter months little sunlight penetrates the garden, the growth of the garden has slowed considerably. There has also been an uprising of weeds and a few gophers that have been wreking havok on the brocolli and brussel sprouts. That being said there is plenty of maintenance to do in the garden. Hopefully we will have a great turnout this Saturday, at 10am, for our welcome back Winter Garden Party. We will be doing lots of garden maintenace, including sheet mulching and pruning, as well as planting more winter crops, an asparagus bed, and strawberries. As if that wasn't enough we will be firing up the old cob oven and cooking some pizzas along with some other tasty treats for lunch. The weather is supposed to be great. It should be a blast. Tell your friends and I hope to see everyone there.
