We are a work/share garden in Charlotte, NC, located at the corner of 17th St. and Alexander. We're open most Saturdays from 9 AM to 12 PM. Come by and work, stay for a crafty event, and take home some fresh produce. Even when the gate isn't open, there are vegetables growing outside the fence that we're glad to share with you.

Getting seeds in the soil
This year we're relying on donations from High Mowing Seeds and Sow True to fill our rows. The High Mowing seeds arrived on Saturday and I immediately sat down to play with (oops, organize) them.
Sorry for the bad phone pics. I couldn't peel my hands from the package long enough to get a proper camera. I started one flat of 72 cells to get a few seeds going. Now is the time to start your perennials from seed (echinacea and herbs for example). Looks like we have a few weeks to get the rest of our starts going. We are about 9 weeks out from our average last frost date of April 15; most veggie seeds that get an indoor head start should be sown 4-6 weeks from that date.
