- Garden Box
- Potato Harvest
July 18, 2019
We have a newcomer to our garden volunteer force! We'd like to welcome Todd Brown. He will primarily working on the garden boxes during his time here.
Everything is growing pretty good, although when I planted beans in the strawberry boxes recently, I noticed that the soil was already dry. That happened quickly in this heat!!
We recently had a great potato harvest from the demo box, roughly 10 potatoes. They were beautiful! I must say I do envy the garden boxes and the herb garden that the hospital has. I built two boxes at home last year and plan on building three more this year. We will see how mine produce this year at home.
I have been approved to put in a butterfly garden in the other half of the herb garden. If anyone is interested in helping me with this, please email me at pkeller@bellevuehospital.com and we will get started.
I ordered a load of mulch from the City of Bellevue and hope to have it by the week of August 5th. This will be a busy week as we will be putting in the fall plants, mulching, and keeping the weeds down.
Thank you for all of your help with the community gardens. Because of all your help, we are having a great year.
