Greetings all I am sorry that we have not been publishing updates to this blog or to the site in general but I would like to let you know that we are back on track and unless life gets in the way we will post at least weekly updates. Some time in the next month we will have an interactive calendar up and running on the site and will be updating some of the regular gardening information as well.
As we wend our way through the fall and into the winter the majority of the crops that grow in our climate are being harvested and dying off. It has been a pretty good gardening year with plenty of sunshine and only a few occasions where too much rain affected our crops and garden maintenance. If you go to the main Project Grow Site and have a look at the Tips page and then the planting guide you will find that we are pretty much past the planting season for most everything except for onions. Hopefully if you had planned on some winter crops this year you have already gotten them planted and well under way. It is possible to plant later than indicated in the guide but every day of delay past the prime planting period decreases the chances of a successful crop.
I hope that since you reading this post that you have been enjoying getting back to nature and the basics of growing your own food. Even if you can’t participate in gardening in one of the Project Grow Gardens I hope you will have taken some useful information from this site to aid in planting your crops in your own space. The winter time is perfect for planning our gardens for next year and hopefully we will be able to have a meeting or two between now and the spring to start early planning for a great new year. May we all have green thumbs and enjoy the fruits (and vegetables) of our labor.
