More Classes Scheduled in
Garden Mentoring Series
The fourth classes for the 2015 Sitka Local Foods Network garden mentor program have been set for four participating first-year families. The classes will be open to the public.
The fourth class of the six-class series is about early harvesting and learning about which crops are ready to be picked and which should be left in the garden to grow some more. The first-year gardener families will be taught how to grow four hardy crops for Sitka – kale, lettuce, potatoes and rhubarb. The class schedule and location for these first-year families is:
–Josephine Dasalla, 1709 Halibut Point Rd., No. 31 (green trailer) – 4:30 p.m., Monday, June 8.
–A.J. Bastian, 207 Brady St. – 4 p.m., Thursday, June 11.
–Rebecca Kubacki, 1202 Halibut Point Rd. – TBA (7 p.m.?), Tuesday, June 16.
–Breezy, 616 Sawmill Creek Road – 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 24.
The classes at the Dasalla residence involve container gardens instead of building raised garden beds.
In addition, the third class for one of the other first-year students (Breezy) and second classes for the second-year students also have been set. These will be garden maintenance classes (slug and pest control, thinning, watering, garden care, etc.).
The two second-year families (Anna Bradley and Tami O’Neill) participated in the inaugural year of the program last summer, and now they’re back for more. The two returning families will be planting carrots, chard, green onions and peas this year, which are slightly more difficult to grow than crops for first-year students.
The classes at each location will be similar, and are free and open to the public. The schedule is:
–Breezy, 616 Sawmill Creek Rd. — 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 4.
–Anna Bradley, 4764 Halibut Point Road, 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 6.
–Tami O’Neill, 2309 Merganser Drive, 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 17.
