We have two more garden walks at Mari Sunami! In the first walk on August 3rd we will be talking about what summer crops you can still plant for a fall harvest. For the second walk on September 7th we will talk fall planting of cool season crops. Plus lots more about pests, weeds, disease, fertilizing, and harvesting. The walks are free and open to the public so bring your friends and your questions!
Also, there is potential space available if you are in need of a garden plot! Contact Jess at the phone and email below if you are interested.

Tomatoes are a taste of summer that we all look forward to. We have had a challenging year so far for sure. A cooler wet spring has given way to some serious heat going forward. Here is some great information on how the backyard grower, community gardener, or urban farmer can get a healthy tomato crop this season.
First up is a webinar class that details best ways on tomato production: Check out Tomatoes 101
Tomatoes face multiple weather and temperature challenges. We just came through some serious 3 inch rain events. That can cause disease for our tomato friends, check out this informative article with pics to help you Keep Your Tomatoes Healthy in Wet Weather.
This summer is predicted to be HOT! While tomatoes are a summer crop, excessive heat can decrease production. Check out this article to learn How to Keep Your Tomatoes Healthy in Hot Weather.
I am talking tomatoes with NBC4! Check out Tomatoes 101 on Extension Today!
Container gardening is one of my most popular classes. You need only a little bit of sunny space to fit in a container and you can grow a surprising amount of veggies in a large one. Check out this video class on container gardening that discusses the four things you need to know to grow container veggies. (and herbs, and flowers, and fruit!)
While it has been a cool and wet April so far, that has not been a problem if you Overwintered Spinach that you planted last fall, or you were able to get some seeds into the ground earlier in March. Right now spinach is in harvest and if you are looking for a tasty and healthy salad idea, check out this video that Jenny and I did last spring showing how to grow, harvest, and prepare a healthy spinach and strawberry salad.
We also have a version translated into Spanish!
It is not too late to plant spinach right now but time is getting short. Get some seeds in the ground soon before the weather gets too hot.
Our first garden walk of the year is tomorrow, Wednesday April 20th @ Mari Sunami Community Garden (see below) at 6pm. We will talk planting, bugs, and our 2022 spring outlook. Bring your friends and your questions! Also, there is potential space available if you are in need of a garden plot! Contact Jess at the phone and email below if you are interested.
