First Coldframe is Finally Finished!

Started over a year ago, the first cold frame is finally finished and set up with irrigation on the roof.  It will soon be accompanied by a second.  Thanks Paul for giving us the momentum to get this done!  It is complete with flats of seed starts for our summer garden.

Compare the finished product with the SketchUp rendering from the design process.

New Plant Name Tags!

Keep an eye open for our new plant name tags.  The tags will gradually be disseminated throughout the garden over the rest of the semester.  Hopefully these guys will help you identify tasty herbs and vegetables, as well as specimen plants.

Mushroom Cultivation: A second attempt

Sean and I used logs pruned from the large ornamental plum tree and plug spawn from Fungi Perfecti to start another batch of Reishi and Pearl Oyster Mushrooms.  Thanks Jack and M.T.S. for the photos.

Chard... and other winter greens

Chard, Kale, and Bok Choi are still available for picking in the raised garden beds.  Photo by M.T.S.
