Spring Planting

Over the next few weeks we're going to be doing most of our Spring planting. Consulting the old Farmer's Almanac, you can see that its time to plant alot of different veggies here in Southern California. We're gonna need to get barley, beans, beets, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, collard greens, corn, cucumbers, eggplants, endive, kale, leeks, lettuce, onion, parsley, peppers, potatoes, pumpkins, radishes, spinach, squash, sweet potatoes, swiss chard, tomoatoes, watermelons, and maybe some wheat in the ground by the end of the month. And thats just the stuff from the Almanac's planting guide, we've got plenty of other seeds aside from these we're going to be planting.

On top of that, we're finishing up preparing 5 different 12 X 12 community plots, and hopefully will get some cold frames up in the next week or two for our seedlings. The barn space needs some remodeling to prepare for our workshops later this spring, and we're soaking the roots of our fruit trees in aerobic compost tea to strengthen them for summer.

If you have any ideas for interesting things to grow, or live in Riverside and are interested in a garden plot of your own, give us an email at growcology@gmail.com and we'll get right back to you.
