Work Day at Roger That! Sunday May 19th from 12:30-5:30.

I reeeaaallllyyyy have to update our blog! Spring has been so busy and exhaustingly fun-filled that it’s taken up all of my sitting inside on my computer energy. We’re still here though. Alive and well. Better than ever, in fact.

WORK DAY SUNDAY, APRIL 21! 12-4:30/5. COME GET DIRTY!

We had a wonderful plenary session this past Saturday. Much was discussed in terms of priority projects, our upcoming Love Your Block event for the beautification of Park Place, as well as making committees so as to share multiple responsibilities of the growing garden. Please contact us at RogerThatGardenProject @ gmail.com in order to get on our Google Group, get involved, and get to work!

I don’t know why, but none of my peas have germinated. Which makes me really upset.

Today I started many seeds and built them a little, baby hoop house - Radishes, two kinds of “rare” onions, chives, heirloom beets, turnips, carrots, kale, beans, and, of course sweet peas. But the later went straight in the ground. Aerated the new compost pile, did some spring cut-back, and straightened up a bit too.

However, completed this all with an extreme cold. Like, extreme to the max serious illness. So I’ll probably be dead tomorrow.

Hi there! I just moved to the neighborhood in December and I'd love to get involved in the garden. Is there an opportunity to volunteer? Thanks!

JANUARY GARDENING!!! When you were a kid such a thing was unimaginable in NYC. Today we did a million things: made three tree guards, mulched with recycled christmas trees (thanks, Parks Department), applied an entire bay of allllmmooosstt finished compost to the edible beds and perennial boarder, cleaned up lumber piles, and turned a whole new batch of compost. I feel like we did a vast amount of other things too but am too tired to remember. OH! I finally put our scarecrow to rest. RIP gender bending, non-ethnic, big hipped friend.

Plant liberation ordered! Most of the older trees on Park Place are confined to 2’ x 2’ openings in the concrete. Hopefully, they will be saved by the Parks Department soon. Request free tree services for your block here.

Thank you SO MUCH to the Citizens Committee for New York City for choosing the Roger That Community Garden to receive a Love Your Block Grant for our spring 2013 “Greening the Gray” project! With these funds we will build planters and grow native plants all along Park Place, clean our street trees, clear out another empty lot and just keep on keeping on. Part of the grant is also special attention from various City Agencies - Parks, Department of Transportation, and Sanitation. Through which we can have: sidewalk cracks repaired; street tree beds expanded; public trash cans; a dumpster for the empty lot; mulch; compost; and those trees we asked for.
