Bountiful Gardens e-newsletter

…gets you ready for winter gardening. HT Yvonne Savio, Common Ground Garden Program, University of California Cooperative Extension, 

A special short newsletter on winter crops

Timing is one of the garden skills that takes a lot of experience. Customers tell us that they like hearing when it is planting time for each gardening season.  So--we saved the tips on winter crops until now, when planting time is coming around.  

Everything we mention in this newsletter can be planted from now for at least a month. In mild-winter areas, you can plant much longer. 

Some of these crops grow food for you, like garlic and wheat, others grow fertilizer for your soil, and (best of all), both kinds of winter crops help keep weeds out of your garden!  

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.
