Among the delicious food at today's potluck, our speaker for next week's seminar brought Chinese Chestnuts, scored and roasted to perfection. 🤤
Let us tell you that they were SO DELICIOUS!
Chinese Chestnuts are adapted to grow here in NY, but take a while to produce.
So, what's an anxious gardener to do?
Ben, who will be teaching Succession Planting next Sunday at 10:00 am, told us that it's best to grow Chestnuts surrounded by other productive plants. While the Chestnut tree grows, the others (think raspberries, currants, cherry trees, or even tomatoes) grow, produce and thrive all while the Chestnut is getting started. That way, you've made the most of your space while that polky canopy tree grows to size and maturity.
If you'd like to learn more about succession planting, join Ben at the DeeplyRooted Community Garden this Sunday at 10:00 am.
See you there!
