Strawberry, Strawberry

I spent some quality time in the pollinator garden today weeding and there are many wonderful things happening there. The strawberries look quite happy and prolific with lots of blooms and berries forming. I hope we enjoy a long and productive berry season this year at GSB. All of the perennials are coming up and how they have grown and spread themselves. Stop by and see all of the fun!

It looks like our pollinators are going to be very happy this pollen and nectar collecting season in their namesake garden!

We are prepping the vegetable beds for planting. Cover crops have been harvested and/or turned in and the soil is being worked for upcoming plantings. We have tomatoes plants the students started in the grow room as well as zinnias. We also have experimented with carrots and beets, just to see how they will transplant.

Warm weather crops will include the usual suspects this year: tomatoes, peppers, squash, sunflowers, corn. This year we are going hybrid. Last year was all heirloom with marginal results. Pretty plants, but little fruit.

Be on the look out for some wild and crazy different things this year too.
