Hey all,
If you’ve been waiting to plant, now’s your chance–we have moved past our frost date for this region. (it’s around May 12-15th) Check out the US Climate Data site for more information. Now let’s just hope it stops raining some day! 🙂
Happy planting!
We have all 43 plots reserved this year. Thanks to all the Lafayette faculty, staff, students, and their friends and family that are a part of the community this year! It’s going to be a great year! Apply early for your spot next year. We may add an additional row of plots next year if needed to accommodate everyone.
Happy Earth Day 2011!!!!!!!!!!
Celebrate the Earth today.
How? Plant a tree or a veggie. Recycle. Pick up some trash. Conserve water. Take some time to read about green stuff. Go for a walk and take a moment to remember how refreshing fresh air really is. 🙂
Check out Earth Day.Org to pledge to participate in A Billion Acts of Green.
Make every day Earth Day.
Check out this article and video about a brilliant woman named Ruth Stout from Organic Gardening by Rodale
