                                        Thursday, June 21, 2012. Summer arrives at the Ginsberg Garden. The Ginsberg Garden gets a make-over with straw rows and tomato trellises. Jen and Liz install a fence around our hoophouse plot. The sweet potatoes-in-a-box experiment is rocking out! To construct this A frame trellis, we drilled holes in bamboo poles and then used zip ties and twine to secure the structure. Then, w.

                                        Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Happy fall and welcome back, gardeners! Q: Will cabbage continue to produce leaves over time, even if it's ripe? A: Here's what I found. The 9. And final stage in cabbage growth is called the mature stage. The cabbage head reaches a diameter of approximated 15-30 cm. There is no visible leaf production after the head has reached the maximum size and hardness. The cabbage head should be harvested soon otherwise it may split. Q: How much carbon or nitrogen is in each food scrap?

                                        Saturday, November 26, 2011. On Sunday November 2oth, we built a small hoop house in the yard of the Ginsberg Center! It was a fun workday and it only took us about two hours to build. All photos on this post by: Nate Ayers. A few days later, the wind and rain took a toll on the hoop house, so we had to temporarily remove the plastic. We will be having a workday after Thanksgiving break to re-fit the plastic with the correct pvc clamps, so our hoop will be sturdy and snow-proof all winter long!

That didn't stop us from having fun, though! Here are some updates:. The Cultivating Community Garden, before planting. Catherine and Masha planting pole beans, which ended up being eaten by the bunnies. Those darn bunnies - if only they weren't so cute! We tried a bunch of natural pest control, like these ladybugs we ordered for the garden! We went to the 16th Annual Tour of Detroit Urb...
