Because of the wet conditions so far there isn’t any screened dirt available yet. Maybe later this week. It will be delivered when available.

Garden plots have been tilled! Still need to till the raised beds. Worked up pretty good given how wet it is. But rain continues in the forecast!

Will be getting a load of black dirt. Please use that to raise the plots if needed. Use the compost to mix in to enrich the soil.

Ground is very wet at garden currently. Needs to dry out some before we till or will have hard dirt clods that will not be a good seed bed. All gardens were tilled in the fall (unless you requested no tilling). Hopefully will get some sun and warmth to help dry things.

Thanks to Dr Luke Albrecht! He turned the compost piles this morning. He has done this several times a year for the past several years. Under all the garden waste things have been breaking down nicely! Compost ready to use is now on the right. Put new materials to compost in the middle. Don’t add any additional material to the pile on left as it will continue to break down and be ready for next year!

The New Ulm Community Garden is looking good. It's still early but it looks like a good season this year. The plots are all tilled, the water is hooked up, the fencing and cages have been cleaned up, the main water station and sink have been improved, a new sign is up above the front gate, and new load of wood chips has been brought in by Kraus tree service. Hope everyone has a enjoyable and bountiful year.

The garden is looking great for gardening starting May 4th! Thank you to Kraus tree service for dropping off more wood chips. We will get the plots tilled as soon as possible, but if you don’t want yours re tilled you’re welcome to get out there after May 4.

Look what’s new at the garden! I swung by the garden tonight and saw the new sign-a great surprise. I’m not sure how long it’s been there since I haven’t been out of the house much. 🌸 🌺 🌹
