Items to Harvest

Harvesting Restrictions

• do not "clean up" the beds containing parsley, kale or brussel sprouts from last year, we can grow them out for seed

To Do

• Finalize seed lists and crops wanted
• Look into suplementing soil with compost/manure

Time Log

Let's keep track of how much time we spend on the garden, like a time card. Please be in charge of your own timekeeping, in 15 minute increments (0.25 hours). Ideally, how much each person harvests should be proportional to the time he or she puts in.
