february update

are we ready for some warm weather or what!!! listen in on any conversation any where at any time and you will hear people of all kinds declaring their dislike of the cold weather and snow. come on spring!!! we are hoping to have a work weekend on march 13 & 14 from 10am to 2pm at the demo garden. please dress in layers, bring your tools and a lunch if you like. we will be cleaning out beds and preparing for the new projects as well as taking care of the existing ones.

recently, we met out in the garden to have a look see and what not and this is what we saw: ice and lots of it on the ground. it was really neat to look at the crystal like pieces of ice formed from the water being pushed up from the ground.







and of course, if darry is around, chances are you will find mushrooms and he did. lots of them actually. they are wood ears and are commonly used in chinese cuisine. they grow on tree branches and we collected a bunch.

come on out and join us on 3/13 & 3/14, we will be working on the new herb garden, the expanded vegetable garden and who knows what else. oh and most likely, there will be cake...see you there!
