Hello Gardeners,
Spring planting: Usually, April 15th is the day that marks when you can begin planting many things outdoors here. Some good options of seeds to plant right now are: Lettuce, Spinach, Peas, Carrots, Chard, and Kale. We have an excellent guide for this that I would normally link here, but our website is unfortunately down at the moment. I will share the link as soon as it’s back up or I’ll email a pdf of the guide tomorrow.
If you’re planting transplants, they might benefit from some row cover. There are a number of plants that are frost-tolerant, but they might not survive prolonged freezing temperatures. (A frost is possible with a temperature under 36° F. A freeze can happen under 32° F, and a hard frost under 28° F). It’s still possible to have more cold weather before Spring is over. Row cover also protects small plants from pests like flea beetles.
If you would like to buy some row cover before the cool weather plant sale, please email me. The pieces are approximately 7 ft x 20 ft and they are $5 each, cash only.
Plant sale details: I’ve attached the full seedling list from Blue Moon. Here are their price details:
Plants are $4.00 per item (either a 3.5" pot or a 4-pack depending on what vegetable it is--indicated on the seedling list) Mix + Match discount: 6 for $20, or a full flat of 18 for $60

Don’t take the bricks and blocks: Please don’t take the bricks and blocks from the area by the weed pile at Eagle Heights for use in your plot. Many gardeners have them in their plots, but they sink into the ground and end up buried for future gardeners to dig up. We are trying to get rid of the blocks, which were originally given to us to build a retaining wall.
Thanks, and happy gardening,
Lily
