We had our first garden party of 2022 on January 10th!! The "winter thaw" came a bit early this year, however we had great help digging up the onion sets from the fall and there were enough to fill an entire bed!! Kids had a blast digging up some of the fall carrots...and they found some big ones!!
On Thursday we had another work party and got two beds of sugar snap peas planted along with a bed of lettuces and spinach for a nice spring crop. We are all amazed that the fall lettuces and spinach have over-wintered very well and we have been cutting salad stuff all winter long!!
I am trying an experiment with growing broccoli starts...so we might be planting the end of January!! Maybe we should call our garden the "Santa Clara Community-Experimental Garden!!" I love that we learn all kinds of things together by trial and error!! The garden is a great place to learn!!
