Fall planting has begun!


Today we transplanted napa cabbage and seeded beets in the garden. The baby broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage & kale are starting to harden off in the sun to get ready to be transplanted sometime in the next couple weeks!


To find out what you should be doing in your garden this month, come to the Monument Gardening Class this Saturday, September 3rd at 10:30am, or Wednesday, Septepmber 7th at 1pm.


Also, make sure to mark your calendars for this month's Guest Speaker Workshop on Saturday, September 10th at 10:30am. Sam Slaughter from Gabriel Valley Farms in Jonah will be coming to the market to teach us all the ins and outs of growing garlic in Central Texas. He's been experimenting with many different garlic varieties over the past few years. I'm excited to find out what he's learned! Garlic doen't need to be planted until Ocotber, so you'll have plenty of time to get seed garlic and prep your garden after the workshop. Sam will also be featured on the Central Texas Gardener PBS show the same weekend, but we'll get to see him in person!
