Winter snow, no worry we can still grow veggies in out little greenhouse in The Hoop.

We made a make shift greenhouse inside The Hoop.

We had some mi or issues with the side rolls on The Hoop. We got one side fixed other side next Saturday.

We planted garlic today. Best to plant in the fall and let them winter over till spring. We used cloves from last seasons crop. Garlic will keep on giving as it's a one time investment. Smells and tastes wonderful too. ❤️

We have been making apple cider from trees on a members property. 21 gallons so far. Great experience for so many in our community. Nothing better than pure apple cider with no additives, just love and apples.

Looks like bikes are the future at LCG. One can haul more than most think. Nice fall day!

We have some new garden beds and a farmstead tank to grow in. This makes us at full capacity.

We used some leftover fence posts for poles to lock our bikes to.

Mornings garden haul for the day. Love Community Garden was called magical by a visitor. You know what, it is.

We are looking pretty snazzy these days. Basil smells so beautiful, a garden bed of happiness. Picked a few tomatos so far but many are green. Might even be a bumper crop. Much love to all.

Our small but mighty garlic harvest.

Cleaned up the Hoop a bit. The first turnips of the season. Growing some fruits and veggies can help your wallet and your state of mind.

We got 2 new beds done. The old ones were rotted. The metal ones seem to last longer.

Friend of the garden came and moved dirt around for a bike rack to go and 2 new beds.

Whoo hooo, MB picked the first icicle radishes and strawberries of the season.

Whoo hooo garden looking great and we had a four legged visitor.

First edible crop of the season, French radish. Strawberries and other crops rocking into spring. The Hoop is happening. Outside to be planted soon. It's the best to be growing your own food.

Some Ace and Big Boy tomatoes planted today in The Hoop. Along with some bell peppers. Still not warm enough outside overnight to plant but soon. Many in flats just waiting for warmer nights.

An over grown corner got cleaned up last fall. Low and behold beautiful appeared.

Got a few new beds put together. Still need to lay weed barriers under. We are one step further thanks to a gardeners read directions skills..

If you live in Michigan, with so many federal cuts it is important we pay attention to our children and their free breakfast and lunch program. Parents and or guardians in Michigan, please fill out this survey as many are working hard in Lansing to save needed food based programs.

Love spring, so much turmoil in the world. Being in the garden gives a since of contentment that's hard to find these days. No yard, no worry, find a community garden or use 5 gallon buckets to grow a few things in. We got more berries in and radishes broke ground. Much love to all. ❤️

Whoo Hoo the Rosemary bush is blooming. Got B's bed planted in The Hoop. She has carrots, red onions, Blue Lake Bush green beans and Icicle radishes. First time using carrot seed tape, let's see how it turns out. Growing food is good for the soul.

We keep letting our watering cans get filled with leaves and junk. No worry, got some new cans with clay trays that will keep the junk out. Rosemary bush is ready to bloom in The Hoop and our sweet pepper plants are looking good, 25 so far. Whoo Hoo!!

Made some labels for the hoop beds from paint sticks. Garlic still growing strong. Feels like spring. Grow as much as you can this season as we fear a bit of sticker shock is heading our way..

The Hoop house D & M got their carrots dug and cleaned with help from their kiddos. Rhubarb is popping up and we planted everbearing strawberries in the hoop with 30 more to go. Spring has sprung.

WhooHoo had a friend of the garden come help clean up in The Hoop for spring planting. We are going to fill one bed with ever bearing strawberries, in hopes of berries thru November. Potatoe bed ready outside.

Two of our Sweet Pepper plants appeared overnight. The goal is 20 plants to share. They freeze well chopped.

First day of spring and our garlic is showing itself. Big windy March day with 40mph gusts. It's only time till we are planting.

Last fall we replaced the skins on our hoop house. The Fruitport Lions came and helped us with labor along with friends who had hoop replacement experience.

Looks like we have some bats in the bat house. A few beds weeded in the hoop and some major clean up to do outside. Always find litter after the snow melts and spring winds blow. Much love to all. ❤️

Window seedlings are coming along well.

We had to remove 2 diseased fruit trees. Tried to save them to no avail. The rosemary bush is doing well in The Hoop and turned the well on today. Spring is approaching in loverly Michigan.

Started some bok choy in a window. Even Aldi has seed starting trays this year. Good way to maximize your cash flow.

Last summer we replaced the skins on The Hoop. Fruitport and Shoreline Lions Club were there to help. We used a camper to cook up lunch. It's amazing what can happen when you work together.

Time to think about what you want to plant this spring.

Last summer we got donations to get a new shed. Gave it some happy color. Growing some of your own food saves on the weekly budget.
