little green

 

Not quite the bounty of community grown veggies I had hoped to have been growing on Olive Street this season... but still a wonderful thing to see!

More volunteers are requested for next year to make our gardens grow.

Current project: winter container gardening. Did you know that there are several woodsy perennials and shrubs that you can root ball and lovingly swaddle in burlap that will wait the winter out with you? I suspected as much, but am doing the research and the work and am (as ever) making plans for some temporary landscaping on Olive Street for the snowy times
