Hello fellow gardeners,

Well, hasn't fall started with a bang at the Granville & 7th Temporary Community Garden––First there were buckets of rain (that felt like it would never end), then the wind that blew most of the leaves off the trees and finally came the days of warm, sunny weather. Looking at the long range forecast for the first week of November, it seems like those sunny days are still on the horizon. However, with the clear skies, the mercury is sure to drop and the winter jacket and scarf are going to be buttoned up tight!

Here are a few garden updates for November:

GARDEN HOURS

Note that despite the cold weather, the garden will remain open all through the winter. Chances are slim you'll get much growth out of your beds at this time of the year, but feel free to frequent the space any time you like.

GROWING TIPS: MULCHING YOUR BEDS

There are plenty of freshly fallen leaves on the site: why not add a few armloads to your bed? A leaf layer like this can help prevent nutrient erosion due to heavy winter rains, and if you've got winter crops or garlic still growing, mulching can insulate plants roots.

Enjoy this beautiful fall!
