How does your garden grow? We recently visited our community garden plot at city hall and are in the process of planning what we’ll plant this year. It’s a little bare right now! We just have a tiny\u00a0spot so are fairly limited, but even with a little bit of land the tips below from Urban Digs come in handy. Thanks Urban Digs!\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Urban Digs Farm\u00a0supplies families and chefs with trustworthy meat, eggs, and produce grown at their farm and by farmers they\u00a0know and trust. AND good news, their farm stand\u00a0opens officially this weekend on\u00a0May 2nd<\/strong>.\u00a0Urban Digs Farm is at 4992 Byrne Road\u00a0Burnaby.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make a plan<\/strong> \u2013 we are so fortunate that we can have fresh veggies almost all year round \u2013 with a little planning you can plant in succession starting in February all the way through to late fall.<\/li>\n
  2. Get composting!<\/strong> Build and feed the soil with microorganisms, worms, and organic matter!\u00a0 Never mind those little hardware store composters \u2013 you need about a metre square of material \u2013 30-40% nitrogen (green \u2013 grass clippings, kitchen scraps, seaweed, manures) and 60-70% carbon ( brown \u2013 woodchips, old leaves, straw). Add a couple of cups of molasses to get things going.\u00a0 Let it sit for a week to heat up, then turn it over once a week for about 8 weeks.<\/li>\n
  3. Don\u2019t till that soil<\/strong>! I know it feels good to churn everything up to give a fresh start \u2013 but by doing so you disrupt the brilliant growing network of mycelium under the ground that is nature\u2019s internet \u2013 connecting plants with what they need.\u00a0 As well, the more you dig, the more you spread those weeds.\u00a0 Cut old plants off at the soil, let the roots rot and return good stuff back to the ground.<\/li>\n
  4. Give your seeds a head start<\/strong>. Using a combination of potting soil (sterile) and vermiculate plant your tomato, cucumber, bean, and pepper seeds indoors\u00a0 – you can use any desk lamp, or get fancy with a grow light keeping it low over the tray to grow strong little guys who, once there\u2019s a couple sets of leaves, can be transplanted in the big outdoors.<\/li>\n
  5. Root and tubers, straight in<\/strong>! Direct seed carrots, beets, parsnips into the dirt \u2013 make sure they\u2019ve got lots of room underneath to grow down.<\/li>\n
  6. Cut and plant potatoes<\/strong>. Either the seed stock from a nursery or the organic ones that are going green in your drawer can work to provide a great mid summer harvest.\u00a0 Cut them such that there is at least one \u2018eye\u2019 per piece. Trench the row and drop \u2018em in \u2013 covering with 2-3 inches of good soil.\u00a0 As they grow, continue to bury the leaves as that\u2019ll make for more potatoes later on!<\/li>\n
  7. Cover \u2018em up<\/strong> \u2013 once outside those little guys are still a wee vulnerable to late frost, birds, or even too much early sun. Cover up the seedlings with remay or an equivalent cloth \u2013 that provides protection and insulation while still allowing light and water to get through.\u00a0 Once they\u2019ve got a good foothold and the days are longer and warmer you can remove the cover.<\/li>\n
  8. Mulch<\/strong> \u2013 bare dirt is like exposed skin. Use straw, old leaves, or even shredded newspaper to cover all the spots that aren\u2019t planted \u2013 it\u2019ll suppress the weeds, hold moisture, and create a lovely haven for beneficial soil critters.<\/li>\n
  9. Jump ahead of the weeds<\/strong> \u2013 get \u2018em before they seed! Hand pull weeds before they take over. They are just doing their job, but since you want other stuff to grow \u2013 they need to step aside. The goal is simply to advantage the good by disadvantaging the not so good.<\/li>\n
  10. Sharpen your tools<\/strong> \u2013 now\u2019s the time to get at those pruners, clippers, lawn mower blades, anything with a blade \u2013 all sharp \u2013 not only does it make the work so much easier, but means the cuts are cleaner and less damaging to the plant, tree, or shrub.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
