Maura is the McRorie Community Garden coordinator. Her phone number is on the bulletin board at the garden. Her most recent communication said:
"So, the time of year has come when people are calling me to get a garden plot. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT NOW TO LET ME KNOW IF YOU WILL NOT BE GARDENING
THIS SEASON. At this time there are no plots "available" and there are 2 people on the waiting list. I know the weather's been odd so far this year; and I think we're in the "safe to start your spring garden" time. So, if you'd like to hold onto your plot and have not yet got around to it, that's fine. If you're not using your whole plot, we can divide it in half. If you don't want to garden this season and think you'd like to in the future, not to worry - plots open up regularly."

If you're craving fresh greens and horrifed by supermarket prices, why not grow your own? Nothing tastes fresher and sweeter than a spring salad just picked from your own windowsill or garden.The best time to harvest Mesclun is early in the morning before the sun is high; heat causes wilting. Start harvesting when the greens are two inches long, never letting them get more than six inches tall; use scissors to snip them off just above the growing crowns (about one inch above the soil level). This is called the cut-and-come-again method because the crop will grow back; if you water and lightly fertilize after harvesting, the greens should be ready for harvest again soon.What Is Kombucha?
Kombucha is a living health drink made by fermenting tea and sugar with the kombucha culture. The result can taste like something between sparkling apple cider and champagne, depending on what kind of tea you use. It's not what you'd imagine fermented tea to taste like.Masticating Juicer
A masticating juicer is the answer to every juicing problem. Because it operates on the mastication process, this type of juicer chews the fibers and breaks up the cells of vegetables and fruits. This give you more fiber, enzymes, vitamins and trace minerals. This all results in the darker, richer color of the juice and a sweeter, richer more full-bodied flavor.Kennedy Space Center Hotels - Find hotels near Kennedy Space Center, FL!
