The garden has had a busy season and now it is time for it to catch some rest! All of the arugula, Asian greens, and swiss chard has been harvested and the soil has been covered with blankets of leaves and hay.
Winter rye has been planted to keep the soil intact during the harsh winter weather. Garlic has also been planted to grow deep into the warm earth during the winter. It will be ready in the spring for harvesting its scapes (the flower of garlic) in the spring and its globe in the summer.
Thanks to the hard work of many King/Amigos classes the garden has been a great success this year. Together we planted a Three Sisters Garden and an Asian Garden. We also planted potatoes and sunchokes. Finally, the garden rewarded us with a bountiful harvest of tomatoes and eggplant in September, tomatillos and potatoes in October, and arugula and radishes in November.
Thank you garden for all of your delicious produce. Sleep well during the winter. Goodnight!
