hello all garden friends, I am still hustling my way through Europe via bluegrass but....I miss the garden so much and i was wondering if someone would take pictures and post them for me. As much as I like being a vagrant, nothing is better than an Athens summer spent at the garden.

There will be a work day this Saturday (March 30th) at the gardens around 12:00pm. Some of us will be out a little earlier in the morning. We also want to call a meeting to decide how we are going to section the plots and if we are going to expand our space. Please feel free to come and get your hands on some land

Hey folks, here is a crudely drawn map of the garden. As you can see, we still have some planting space. Let us know if you want to grow/tend anything as spring comes along.

Ron Finley plants vegetable gardens in South Central LA -- in abandoned lots, traffic medians, along the curbs. Why? For fun, for defiance, for beauty and to offer some alternative to fast food in a community where "the drive-thrus are killing more people than the drive-bys."

Parts and pieces for the two new garden high tunnels/greenhouses arrived on Tuesday morning! We are looking for folks to dig some dirt, assemble the parts and lift the beams into place over the next week (STARTS TOMORROW) Let us know if you can help!

Kale, Lettuce and Spinach seeds now sown in the low tunnel. Time for some early season germination.

02/25/2013

Much is underway! The low tunnel has been moved to the bamboo, we now have landscape metrics for the available garden space in the spring, a cold frame was built and we have been continuously planting flats of cold hearty vegetables to be grown in the new high tunnel.

We cut down one of the chestnuts in the bamboo circle today. Tomorrow at 10am we are going to attempt to cut another one down. Feel free to meet us out there, maybe Art will show you how to use a chainsaw. Also tonight at 10:30pm or so a few pals may gather for a fire, please join us.

Spinach, lettuce, and kale flats are started! We are moving our tunnel structure to the bamboo circle for some wind protection! If anyone wants to help disassemble and move the structure we can arrange a work day
