Seed Crop Focus: Cactus Zinnia. This precocious full sized zinnia just loves to bloom. With 3-5” blossoms in vibrant sherbet colors, their slightly curled petals leave some room for playful mid-summer delight.

The music pulled me around the corner on my way up the steps, while holding a tray of dirt and pots in one hand, purse, lunch and everything else for the day. I just had to pause and admire these young artists, and their charismatic teacher, who have made the impossible possible.

Despite stay at home orders, social distancing, and now remote learning district-wide, thanks to our neighbors and volunteers, we have a resilient school farm. The little farm that could.

Hello friends, I hope you are all staying well - I'm working on a plan for the coming season - it will be our 10th! Good news, there are a ton of spring greens coming up from my students' cover crop experiments. For now, please know that starting seeds at home to bring to the farm in the future would be very helpful! https://downtownteachingfarm.blogspot.com/2020/03/spring-seedling-and-spring-planting.html

Out in the garden, it’s an e-scape.

Don’t forget to harvest your scapes folks, they can be eaten pretty much any way you would prepare garlic or green beans, and are also beautiful in bouquets.

Gardeners come together Saturday 9:30-11:00 and Tuesday 6:30-8:30p hope to see you there!
