Cleaning up the garden, getting ready for the new season.
I’m trying to buy three empty double city lots on a tax sale so I can expand my gardens quite a bit.
Last year we helped on the new community mass garden. It was a great success, and we hope to make it even better in 2015. The proceeds from the sale of sweet corn and some other produce all goes to help the local food pantry, which needs the help, it seems, more than ever. Lots of folks in need.
I put up a new website just for the effort yesterday, which you can see here:

Need any seeds? LOL I have a bunch of leftovers of lots of things. Some may be past being viable, but most should be OK. My husband buys things on the sly, and then I find we have a bunch of leftover seeds. I have stuff from five years ago to last year. I only buy Heirloom, which are becoming hard to come by in the stores - I guess they wised up. My husband buys whatever looks good to him that day. We cannot use all of this up - and I hate for them to go to waste.
If any of you gardeners would be interested, let me know. Also we have a LOT of dried hot-hot peppers (4 or 5 varieties) which should yield ... I think. I don’t know much about the peppers viability or the way to seed save those. I just left them in the peppers and let those dry out.
Thanks for the link, and bless you for the good works.
Re: the beautiful Community Garden- do you have to irrigate/water it?
I assume it rains more there than here in Central TX.
