VEGETABLE GARDEN

The vegetables are starting to ripen out at the Arboretum.  This week 20 lbs. of squash was picked and donated to the Food Bank.  Soon we will be gathering tomatoes, peppers, beans, watermelon, potatoes, and more squash.  A new section was created this year to demonstrate "Square Foot Gardening".  If you are not familar with this concept, watch this video Introducing Square Foot Gardening to learn some basic steps in starting your own intensive garden plot.
