End of Summer Update

As some of you may or may not know, the Bogarden is currently heading into its last season. The owner of the property has decided to finally build out his lot and so we are going to respectfully return the space for his use. Although we had thought that construction would begin by the end of this summer we were notified that we would be able to squeeze one last fall in the garden.

This summer has been brutal with hot temperatures, little rain, and a lot of weeds but we are hoping that as the late summer rains increase the temperatures will come back down and we can get volunteers back outside to give the garden a little TLC.

Now is the time to start thinking about what you want to see in the garden this fall and being starting your seed trays. We are going to be starting a lot of stuff this week including squash, collards, beans, parsnips, flowers, tomatoes, okra, broccoli, onions, tomatillos, brussels sprouts, and more!!

In the coming weeks we will be reaching out to volunteers to help pull weeds (the grass and vines are taking over!), help erect a temporary fence, spread some mulch, and plant some new plants.
