March 2012
It’s time to conjure up Spring! Join CVEarthlab members in the community room on Sunday February 8th between 11:45am and 1:15pm to start seeds in sub-irrigated planters.
We’ll supply organic, non-GMO vegetable seeds and flower seeds plus wicking and labeling material; bring your own potting soil, a pair of scissors and a few empty 1.5-2 liter water bottles. You’re welcome to bring your own seeds; please note we’re focusing on organic, non-GMO plants and pollinator-friendly materials. To that end, we aim to transplant organic, non-GMO plants into the CVEarthlab garden and to avoid use of chemical pesticides.
Will you join CVEarthlab for the new season? All CV residents are welcome to become members of the 2015 communal garden. We ask members to donate $25. and 3 bags of mulch (per household), plus contribute time and muscle watering, tending and maintaining the space over the course of the season. Checks can be made out to CVOI. Learn more here.
RSVPs appreciated! Send a note to cvearthlab@gmail.com or post a comment here by Sunday morning, please. Thanks!
Early Sprouts
28 FebIts been less than one week since we planted seedlings on February 23rd, and we’re already seeing a lot of green Ansley and Warner’s tray is booming! “We have sprouts in each of our 16 cells in our sub-irrigated flat — flowers (new zinnias and old asters), heirloom tomatoes, yellow and tricolor cherry tomatoes, basil, cucumbers! The cucumbers are already looking leggy, they’re so big.” Over at Casa Maher-Dolan, we’ve got a whole lotta nothin in our tray, but growth in our sub-irrigated tomato and cucumber plants. How about everyone else? I’m thinking I may re-plant some herbs this weekend. -Denise
