Finally!

The warm weather has finally arrived and things around the gardens have picked up in earnest. We’ve been planting, weeding, and setting up irrigation for the last three weeks and have nearly completed our early season planting. Due to drought and watering restrictions in Denver we’ve been forced to install and/or convert more drip systems […]

April (snow) Showers Bring…

…summer produce! The planting season has arrived and although the snow this week pushed things back momentarily we are and have been busy in the dirt. We have peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, broccoli, and others started indoors and peas, turnips, beets, spinach, and garlic started outside. On each of the next two Saturdays we will be […]

A New Season

As the snow finally arrived overnight last night and gave some much-needed moisture to Denver, we’re in the throes of growing season preparation. We’ve hit the ground running in the new year and are very excited about what’s on the horizon. Here are some of the things we’re working on: 1. NSA Shares – This […]

The Table on Westword

We’re pleased to have been featured in a blog today.  You can read the article here. In other news, we’ll be posting our most recent newsletter, some season-ending news, and an opportunity to purchase your authentic 2013 Table Calendar in the next couple of days.  For now, we’re busily trying to get it along with […]

It’s been far too long since we’ve updated the news and it’s been a long, hot summer here in Denver.  However, we have been blessed with a tremendous growing season as evidenced by our latest newsletter and quite simply the amount of food we’ve been able to donate to local food banks.  I’ve attached a […]

Harvest, Feast, Community, and Nourishment – in pictures

Want an idea of what we’ve been up to?  Wondering what you’ve been missing?  Weve been documenting some of the gardens and how they grow – you’ll see some progressions below – and have hosted two Feasts on our back porch.  Here are some recent pictures of what’s growing both in the gardens and at […]

Feast!

A little over a month after our Garden Grand Opening the gardens are growing and producing – over 15 pounds of lettuce and several pounds of radishes have already been harvested and distributed.  The peas are now starting to show which means it will probably be a busy week keeping an eye on them.  So, […]

Reaping What Someone Else Sowed

Here’s a lesson in grace…as we prepare beds in our yards we sometimes find plants that had planted who knows when.  There have been strawberries, rhubarb, and today – onions.  Lots and lots of onions.  All of these onions came from one raised bed and were immediately brought to Community Ministry to be shared with […]

Roots and Shoots – the day after

What a tremendous day.  The Table Gardens are officially launched and blessed as a result of yesterday’s event.  By rough estimation (very rough) there were around 70 people who came at some point during the 2-hour extravaganza.  We planted potatoes, beans, and onions in 18 raised beds; we pitched the vision of The Table; we […]
