Every week a group of students from the high school come over to help in the garden during their LACEP (Leadership and Community Engagement Program) class. They’re what this garden is about, and they’ve done a good chunk of the work in getting it up and running. Today we harvested more mizuna (the stuff just keeps growing) and our first box of leaf lettuce. We got the seeds for this variety, Mesher, from the Organic Seed Alliance located across the water in Port Townsend. Check them out, they are all about promoting good stewardship of and access to seeds, especially heirloom varieties, and they donated a dozen seed packs to our project. Let the harvest begin:

Next week come the radishes! Get pumped!
