🌞 Now the gardening season has definitely started! 🌞

This sunny Saturday we did a bit of everything. Weeding some flower beds, installing the automatic watering system, preparing some beds and harvesting some rhubarb. 🌱 We even found some cute potatoes from last year. \(🥔__🥔)/
The gardening day then ended with a cozy barbeque. 🔥🌭

Thank you to everyone who came today, hope to see you again next week❣️

💚THE CAMPUS GARDEN IS BACK 💚
After a long winter break, we're back with the first event of the 2024 season! On April 6th, we'll have a cozy get together with fika, where you can get to know us/the association and help us prepare these year's seed tapes. Everyone is welcome, no experience needed, just curiosity. 🌱

💡Seed tape is biodegradable paper with pre-spaced seeds. It helps keep the right spacing in between seeds. Seed tape is great for tiny seeds as it is difficult with smaller seeds to maintain the right distances. Seed tape saves you from having to spend time thinning seedlings later, and makes your seed packages go a lot farther by cutting down on planting excess seeds.

Sending out appreciation to our fantastic volunteers who show up even on rainy Saturdays, curious to dive into projects without a blueprint, and create things like the beautiful new trellis for our pumpkins. ❤️

A few chosen favorites from the last two Saturdays in the garden. The fence renovations are almost complete and we’re getting ready to kick off one of the ~ 846 other projects on our wishlist. It’s pretty amazing what we can get done between harvests and potlucks.

Some snapshots from Saturday 📸
In summer, main gardening tasks at the Campus Garden are definitely weeding, watering, and cutting grass (we do leave a big part of the area untouched, though!) This Saturday, we also planted potatoes, continued the work on our new fence and set up a drip irrigation system, which will make watering much more efficient! 💦Apropos watering, wanna help us during the summer?

🤯 Can you believe it? After waiting 2 years, on Saturday we FINALLY got to harvest our asparagus. Really cool going from having planted it, taking care of it for 2 years and finally harvesting it. So satisfying! We also made great progress with our shed too, which is mostly done now. And of course there was the usual garden work of weeding & watering on the schedule, as well. 💦 We will set up a watering schedule now which we will post on Slack, so join our Slack workspace if you want to help!

Summery vibes this weekend!☀️👨‍🌾 And we have been suuuper productive! We planted many pre-grown plants as well as seed tapes which we had prepared in March. Now, if all goes well, we have squashes, pumpkins, chards, beet roots, lettuce, onion, garlic, carrot, beans, peas growing in the kitchen garden. Yay yay yay! Also, we have built our new tool shed – but that deserves its own post! 😌

Happy Monday!🌱🌼 Another Saturday where we got so much done!! It's amazing to see how efficient we are in a group. Among other things, the kitchen garden is now ready for planting next week and we have a new hot compost brewing. Next Saturday, we will focus on planting out the pre-grown plants (so bring yours if you took some home!) and building our new tool shed. It will be a busy day so we need all hands on deck 💪 See you in the garden!

On Saturday we planted the first seed tapes! 🥕🧅 Also we had received a delivery of wood chips so we finally could start remaking our paths. Apart from the usual gardening action, we also continued on the foundations for our shed. While the weather wasn't as perfect as the week before, we got a lot done and had fun. Soon the real planting action begins, join us every Saturday at 14:00.🌱

Happy faces from last Saturday 😍☀️ Sooo cool to finally be able to sit around the fire again. And apart from that, we also got lots of important things done: We got manure and straw from a nearby farm, renewed one part of the kitchen garden fence with new posts, planted some potatoes, dug the outline for our new storage shed... Hard work that went super quick thanks to the many volunteers that showed up. So grateful! Maybe you want to join us this Saturday at 2pm, too? Everyone is welcome! 🌱🧑‍🌾

So nice to see life coming back to our garden after winter! 😍 Amazing shots from last Saturday by one of our volunteers.

The garden is really getting into summer shape again, it's wonderful to see! On Saturday, we planted out all our pre-grown pumpkins and squashes and we now have around 30 plants growing 😅 There was of course lots of weeding to do, we continued fixing last year's raised beds with new soil&manure and planted onions and fennel, too! Apart from the typical gardening stuff, we also got a little creative and started painting new signs for our plants. What do you think of them? :) 🎨

➡️Join us this Saturday for our next working day and be part of this amazing community. If you have pre-grown plants at home, feel free to bring them to the garden on Saturday: https://fb.me/e/1rwfB5fx5

Another successful gardening day in the books! On Saturday, we continued preparing the kitchen garden and planting new crops. Now we have different salad varieties, beetroot, broccoli, cauliflower, purple beans, and even more potatoes growing. 🌱 We planted the seed tapes that we prepared some weeks ago and we're so excited to see how they will turn out. Will keep you posted!

Aaaand we got our first crops in the ground! 😍 Today was a really intense day! We prepared the beds kitchen garden with leaves, manure and fresh soil and planted the first things. We now have potatoes, peas, carrots, onions and radishes growing in our garden, yay! As you can see, we planted some of the seed tapes that we prepared during our workshop in March. It was sooo much easier planting carrots with the tapes! We have some beds with and some without tapes so we can really see what difference it will make.

🌱From now on, we will have regular Saturday working days. So just pop by next week, there's still a lot more to plant and we need all help we can get!

❗️During the next working day on Saturday 14th we will also have a short extra Association Meeting to finalize some of the changes we made to our association's statutes during the last Association Meeting.❗️

Monday Momentum! Last Saturday we had our first open gardening day and were so happy to see around 20 new and old volunteers showing up! 😍 We had a long To-Do list and were busy tidying up the garden throughout the whole day. We raked tons of leaves and collected sticks and branches that fell off the trees during winter, prepared fire wood, weeded our beds and prepared them for this year's planting. We laid out new wood chips on the paths and some volunteers build an amazing trellis for our blackberries. We even started with pre-growing some seeds that volunteers took home; When the weather allows we will then plant them in the garden. What a wonderful day! ☀️
