WE WELCOME OUR NEW APPRENTICE- BRANNON

Brannon is a freshman at Shawnee Mission West
this fall and comes to us with some background in mixing concrete and making hypertufa. He and his brother took our Hypertufa Studio with their Grandma two years ago and really did a great job. It is exciting to see these young men work so creatively with these mediums. Brannon is also artistic which goes a long way when you are a studio assistant here at From the Summer's Garden. Welcome to the group Brannon and just in time for It's a Marshmallow World!

FUN AFTER THE FROST

Now that frost has put the kabosh on many things growing in the garden, it's time to have a little fun. Clean out the dead and damaged plants and rake the soil smooth. Draw simple designs or words in the soil using the end of your hoe handle. These lines are ideal little furrows for planting winter wheat seeds. You can buy seed on-line or at your garden center.  Be generous in your planting so your designs and words are well-defined.

Cover the furrows with surrounding soil and tamp the entire area flat with your hoe. Gently water the area and keep it moist. In about four to five days the design or words will emerge in fresh green sprouts.  

It's quick and easy and just in time for...

Halloween...

or Christmas.

GET YOUR MERRY ON!

We're excited to share what's new at From the Summer's Garden for our upcoming Holiday Event, 
IT'S A MARSHMALLOW WORLD.  You can bet there'll be plenty of SNOWFOLK read to help you "Get Your Merry On!".
