Organic Compost Source

Community Gardeners,

Thanks  to Sharon Bright’s recommendation, we now have a source of organic compost sold in bulk:

Cierech Greenhouses
23 Winters Rd, Phillipsburg, NJ 08865
(908) 859-1899

The cost is $30 per yard (and a dump truck holds about 8 yards). The only downside is that they do not deliver, so we need to find someone with a truck.
Contact Mike Jordan if you’re interested!

Memories from 2009 :)

This beautiful collage was made by Denise Galarza Sepúlveda (in plots #28 and 29). She tried to include an image from every garden space in the 2009 season.  Click on the image to enlarge it.

Community Gardening–Come start!!

Hey everyone!!

Many gardeners have begun to work in their plots and they’re lookin’ GREAT!!  Sorry I haven’t updated in awhile..I’ve been at the garden lots! 🙂

Here’s some pictures from about a week ago (so much has changed since!).

The fence is complete–the gate is a little difficult to get open.  We’ll try to fix it soon!

Poor Jodie Frey’s (and friends!) plot–two groundhog holes, but they haven’t come back yet!

First row of plots.

And a couple students and me started planting the large 1-acre plot last Tuesday.  Here’s some pictures from that day..

And we worked REALLY hard! 🙂

Anyways…feel free to get started out there!  I’m not sure what the key situation is for the parking area.  If you haven’t received it yet, you should be getting one soon! The water situation is still under-construction, but will hopefully be done soon!  Sounds like there’s supposed to be rain in the next couple weeks too! Phew!

Have a great holiday weekend!!
