OSD Gardens-Pumpkin Compost and Planting


Occupy San Diego Garden is surviving thanks to the volunteer work being done on all levels.  Support is coming in the form of coffee grinds, oyster shells and pumpkins for composting, buckets for saving food committee left-overs, and occupy labor parties planting and designing future beds.  As you can see in the video, we have room to grow!

OSD Garden Committee has put a call out to San Diego's  99% asking for a county-wide planting on all levels.  This means you.  Start planting seeds indoors now for future expansion.  Once sprouted, if you don't have room, or you do not have a green thumb, the garden committee will accept them and transplant them for you.

This is your garden.  Together we will feed the 99%.  If you'd like to get on the osd-garden e-mail group, leave a comment here and we'll contact you.

Occupy!

First Days of Occupy Gardens at City College


Here is a quick video documenting  the beginning of Occupy Gardens here in San Diego.  

Updates/Requests/Information:  This week we planted broccoli, cilantro, mixed greens, and a tomato plant brought up from the Civic center.  Our compost pile is filled with Halloween pumpkins, hay and turned over dirt, leaves and brush.  We are networking with local farms to organize for a thanksgiving day meal.  If you can contribute please leave a comment on this post.  As always, please plant seeds indoors wherever you are and bring future transplants to the Civic Center.  We will find them homes.  
  
Thanks to Sarah and Robert for helping out this past Tuesday and Mellisa for Occupying the gardens on Thursday.  Also to Josh at vegiscaping.com for providing support and pumpkins for pie-making.

Garden Group e-mail:  If you'd like to get e-mails about gardening schedules and coordination please join the [osd-gardens] group and participate in the free flow of ideas that help keep the garden growing!


Thanks, 
Jason

Gardening is civil and social,
but it wants the vigor and freedom
of the forest and the outlaw.
