Hi neighbors!
Here’s a short update on the University Heights Garden. As you all know, this spring’s yo-yo weather made it hard for many flowers to get a good start. Luckily, they seem to have taken root and are doing pretty well now.
We did have a few surprises in the garden this year. For some unknown reason, we lost all of our well-established mums. If anyone has any ideas on this, we’d love to hear them. On a more positive note, a plethora of pink poppies popped up. At first, we weren’t sure what they were. Weeds? Wildflowers? Unsure of what we had, we let some grow to maturity, and sure enough, they turned out to be pink poppies! There were also a few watermelon plants that unsuccessfully tried to gain a foothold amidst the flowers.
With the help of two kind professors (Carl and Saul), we were able to have a booth at the UH Farmers’ Market in July and raise money for the garden through the sale of veggies and flowers. It was successful enough that we’re planning on doing it again for the rest of the season.
Thanks again to everyone who donated to the UH Garden. Without your help, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy all the cheerful colors in our little corner of University Heights!
