Seed Sale a Success! Let's start planning!

I just placed the order for the seed sale and we were very successful! Thank you for your orders and for those of you who got additional orders from friends and family. We had sales of $745.00 (plus $102.00 of seeds for our garden). We sold a lot of Zinnias, Cosmos, Sunflowers and Herbs, and by buying lots of the top sellers in bulk, we were able to save almost $200. Fedco gave us a group discount of $179, which brings us down to $484.00 that we paid to Fedco. So overall, we earned $260 for our garden plus $100 of free seeds. That’s the good news. The exciting part of all this is that we get to repackage over 500 packets of seeds. If anyone would like to participate, the seeds should be in two weeks from now.

We will also be looking for help in finishing the garden. We will need to build 4 additional 13 foot beds, or 4 six foot beds and 4 7 foot beds. These need to be built before or around Easter to get ready for our salad gardens. If you are able to help with this, let us know. If you are not handy with wood, there will be plenty of opportunities for helping in the future.

This Thursday, we will be learning about time and temperature, or which vegetables like to grow when it’s hot and when it’s cool, and how many days does it take for them to be ready to harvest. We will then select vegetables for our spring garden.
