This Saturday at 10:30 AM we'll be gathering at Elephant Garden for our Community Garden Day and Worm Composting Meetup. We'll explore: • How worm composting works • The benefits of vermicompost • A simple homemade worm bin • A larger garden-scale worm system Carola will also guide us through a mindfulness activity in the garden, and we'll walk through some of the design thinking behind Elephant Garden and how you can apply similar ideas in your own yard. If you'd like composting worms, don't forget that pre-orders close Wednesday at 4 PM. We'll have them ready for pickup at the meetup. Order here Bring a hat, water, gardening gloves if you'd like to help, and a snack to share if you'd like. Who's joining us this Saturday?

This is not a problem! Has anyone else noticed a huge number of ladybugs. I've seen them in my yard, I'll post a photo too. I'm on the SE part of Fort Collins. When I was at our Vet, further east less south, ladies flying! Anyone else having this wonderful gift?

Hey friends, I few weeks ago a put a request for a screening of The Gardener in a local theater here in Fort Collins. I got a reply that they are working on booking it and that it would help if we can send messages of interest in having the movie screening here. It would be great if any of you is interested to post a comment here so I can send it to them to show interest. Sounds like a cool movie to watch as a group!

I’ve never had this problem growing from seed before. They shoot up and then die or something is eating them. Only my pepper and tomatoes! Arugula and kale are fine
