Mid-Summer Check-in

Mid-Summer has arrived! 

We are so proud to have had so much progress over the last month at PW Garden. Among the Summer Restoration, we have painted the second coat of the tool box, planted some radishes, lettuce and sunflowers, and seen some significant growth in our sunflower and zuccini beds. As well, we have just initiated the project of Kerrisdale Seed Library! To learn more about this library, to volunteer, or to become a member, visit my other blog,  http://kerrisdaleseedlibrary.blogspot.ca/, or contact us at kerrisdaleseedlibrary@gmail.com . We would appreciate any kind of support!

Now, here is a closer look at our garden during the month of August...

Here is our newly-repainted tool box thanks to Mickey. It will remain the background colour, but we will add on more design to it in September.

Our sunflowers have almost out-grown the bed. 

Not only that, but they are constantly attracting the pollinators!

 The Zuccini is also showing up. Volunteers have harvested about 10 so far, and there are still a couple left to extract seeds from.

Here are our brand-new radishes (middle row) and sunflowers (side rows). 

Our radishes are more than ready for harvest, and our sunflowers are continually growing.

A closer look at our radishes:

We left one bed of kale to be harvested...The time has finally arrived! We are extracting the kale seeds right now. To learn more about saving kale seeds, visit http://kerrisdaleseedlibrary.blogspot.ca/.

Our usual parsley, basel and cilantro.

 And our apples looking as red as ever!

That's about it for our summer progress so far. Another thank-you to our summer volunteers. Also, don't forget to take a closer look at our Kerrisdale Seed Library Blog.

Happy Summer,
