Community Gardening in the Time of COVID-19
Like everything else this spring of 2020, our garden plan has been upended. Fortunately we began planning this year's garden during the winter. In January we placed some orders for seeds and supplies, including 90 peat pots, thinking we might start more of our own plants this year.
We planned to add more perennials this year, and we ordered and planted early. We added more blueberries and a fig tree in February. In March we planted asparagus, potatoes and peas, which all went in before more stringent stay at home orders took effect. We are thankful for that.
Tomato and broccoli plants were started in March.
Now more and more seeds are being planted, and soon all available window and porch space will be filled with plants, which is a great activity to fill the long hours of stay at home time.
