Welcome to the new NBC Garden blog! This is our first installment of the garden blog, as it will be known from this point on. Today, spent some great time this morning, in prayer and as I was weeding, I couldn't help but thinking what a great ministry we have in our Garden! That being said, I couldn't help but feel we are in a season of waiting.. Waiting for our veggies to grow, waiting for the Lord to guide us to the next phase, but waiting in a beautiful way. I was greeted by little red spotted ladybugs in the flowering cilantro, and the ever present, but affable yellow jackets buzzing around. The plants are doing well, I picked a few zucchini's and some mint (thanks Carlsens!) and some cilantro today. The blossoms are full on the zucc's, and the little pollinators LOVE the flowering cilantro! I am surprised the peppers are a little stunted, and I will consult my Garden experts about that. It could be a PH (acid-base) issue not sure, as my home garden has stunted bell peppers as well...Hmmmm?
Here's some important info:
* We need to keep up on the weeding in and outside the boxes, as we will end up with too many weeds in our boxes over time. Please don't put stickers (goat heads,cockle burrs etc.. in compost) You can put soft weeds like the flowering ground vines, and dandelions in the compost but put them on the "BIG" pile far right.
* This Saturday is a composting workshop in Sunnyvale (given monthly) for info
contact me at clink@nbcsj.org It's free, last about two hours and is a great way to get introduced to composting and vermicomposting (worms)
Looking forward to sharing thoughts and important info with you on this blog!
Pray,plant,grow,give...share!
