Our community garden is big: 137 plots on 2 acres. We're selling seedlings $1 a pot to benefit the gardens. We've gotten orders for about 125 pots of seedlings so far. Plus, we want to have extra plants available for those who didn't order and will want to buy some on our distribution day. We're offering most as 4-seedlings per pot. Larger plants (like broccoli) will be 4-packs with 1 plant per cell. It's a big job to grow all of these and I'm really excited to start on it!
My husband helped me set up a big outdoor plant table in my home garden and I plan to add another table soon. Im covering all the trays with row fabric to protect against chipmunks and cabbage beetles. Here's what I've planted so far. I'll update here as I plant more.
