This week has been incredibly warm. cooler than last few days. But very warm relatively speaking. Most if not all snow is melted...we are still burning wood stove some but during days mostly 40s-60s with sun. Been windy too. Heard up to 70s Friday.
Miranda planted snow peas and radishes on Monday, the 14th of February, (Happy Valentines Day). First I've heard of planting outside; seeds to soil. She said many people she talked to were skeptical, but she also said her kids have magic fingers for planting.
There are plans to repair our greenhouse out back at ' Da Big Green House'. Adam Fisher and Adam Kandel have been discussing a PVC method for the cross member to replace the broken bamboo from snow these past 2 winters. It looks like the front side and backside are still structurally sound. There was a locust post that Fisher found for the doorway. If I remember correctly, Fisher was saying locust wood was very resistant to rot. I remember him pointing out some locust trees in the park where we played music near Hopkins.
Fisher pruned the fruit trees at Westfield. they look great. Wonder if trees at Louise's have been or need prunnning. Ask Kandel or check it out. We have planted about 10 fruit trees between the two gardens with grant money from the Parks and People foundation. I should get a statement with Adam Fisher, Kim and Gerry Sutter for Westfield and a statement from Adam Kandel and Miranda Betts and Louise Mitchel for Louises garden. I should close out grant and find out when the next neighborhood greening grant is available.
