Community Container Garden

from Life on the Balcony, apartment gardening tips and tricks, Ready Set Start those seeds... 

Hopefully you have your seed packets in hand, or will shortly. I’m sure you’re itching to get starting with our community container garden project. I know I am! The first thing to do–obviously–is to get those seeds in some seed starting potting mix and get started!

It’s important to start your seeds indoors at the right time, so that they’ll have their best shot when they move outside. To calculate when it is time to sow them, you need to know when you can last expect frost. If you don’t already know, this is a handy list of last frost dates. Once you have that date, look on the seed packet to find out how many weeks before your last frost date you should begin. Simply count backwards from your last frost date that amount, and sow your seeds roughly around that time.

Virtual Community Garden: Indoor Gardening

With a brand new page/ blog for iCreate comes furnishing it, refreshing content and setting content guidelines. There is still content to migrate from the original site after updating and copy-editing. The page, currently hosting an "under construction" graphic will describe current and projected iCreate projects or programs: music outreach for the at risk youth and the homeless; the Mountainair Community Garden (which will probably end up with it's own page); (tentative) publishing an anthology of local and NM youth poetry commemorating iCreate's founder Merris Atmen, whose initial iCreate project was a Youth Poetry program. Partners needs updating and editing too. Then there are announcements and news to catch up with. Although autonomous, the Community Garden is part of iCreate, a Virtual Community Garden series makes sense ... informative and should be interesting and fun too.
