A Team Effort - Plant It Day Success!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the Beresford Park Plant It Day: Renee,
Howard, Phuong, Greg, Jo Ann, Amy, Susan, Jackie, Rita. 135 plants in 3 hours - well done!

Greg & Howard took on the 5 gallon "big ones". And there's a rumor that the left bed had a particularly hard soil composition than the other beds: Howard, Renee & Jo Ann - thanks for your tenacity. It was fun to see Amy bring her design to life. Huge thanks to Phuong for giving our most novice gardener, Rita, a transplanting lesson - many plants were saved as a result. Susan & Jackie -thanks for helping to bring the right bed to life!

Three weeks ago we started by moving a dump truck full of dirt out of the beds in what turned into a two day wheelbarrow relay. A week later we wrestled with reused cardboard and moved 5 cubic yards of compost and 8 cubic yards of wood chips back into the beds. Now with Plant It Day behind us, the transformation is complete.

You did it. Thank you. Now we get to watch it Grow.

Peaches and more

Yesterday we handed out the sweetest of peaches thanks to a generous donation from Circle Foot Permaculture . Along with the quarts of peaches, we also provided Samaritan House Food Pharmacy clients a handout with nutritional information on peaches - how they impact your blood sugar - and a recipe for a Roasted Peach Parfait. Here are links to the handout: Nutritional Spotlight: Peaches (English) Nutritional Spotlight: Peaches (Spanish) It all seems somewhat routine at this point: gather donations of locally grown produce quickly pull together helpful nutritional information based on the week's donations In retrospect, this is the culmination of 3 years of effort to create a network of local gardeners, foragers and volunteers - with a goal of becoming a reliable source of fresh produce for lower income families struggling with diabetes and other health disorders. While it has been known for some time that eating fruits & vegetables can positively impact a person's he

The December Garden

Snap Peas (& a garden gnome!) Beresford Park Community Garden December 15, 2021 It's hard to describe just how good the winter gardening is in San Mateo. While most gardens across the country have long gone into a frosty hibernation - we're, at long last, getting the rain we've been without for the last 9 months or more. It's finally time to turn off the irrigation systems and let Mother Nature do her thing. The new moisture is creating a full-on nutrient soup that flows through our soil, fueling an explosion of activity within the soil food web. Fungal activity is pushing mushrooms to the surface. Our favorite spring flowers of nasturtium, poppies, sweat peas, borage and yarrow are in a race to establish their growing territory. And, thankfully, the newly moist soil makes pulling up oxalis, mallow and bindweed sprouts a bit easier. As you would expect, plants thriving now in the garden were initially planted out in the fall. Those crowns of cauliflower and

Getting Started: Wine Barrel Planters

Gardening in a small, urban space requires a bit of creativity. Our challenges are many: buildings & trees frequently block sunlight; various critters like to snack on new seedlings and just ripe fruits & vegetables; and here in San Mateo, irrigation is a must. To increase your probability of gardening success, consider adding recycled wine barrels into your urban garden. Having tried many types of growing containers over the years, the wine barrel has made it to the top of my list. My galvanized tubs always seemed to need more water than wooden barrels - perhaps due to the different heating/cool properties of the metal vs. wood? Aesthetically, a recycled barrel looks like it's been there for years - which I love. And the smell! There is no comparison. Cost is definitely a consideration. A wine barrel at Home Depot is $40 whereas a 35 gallon galvanized tub is $55. You might say that growing in the ground is $0.00 - but in some locations, the extra 18 inches off
