Tracking the Sun

This qualifies as a Hot Tip...

Do you need to get a better understanding of where the sun it in relation to your garden? What's the difference between the summer and winter availability? Now that we are trying to grow more during the winter months, that's a question many of us will be asking.


Noreen Andrews  found the answer in  SunCalc.org. Noreen gathers our harvest production numbers for us and also recently joined the Boat School garden. As a new garden (last year) the Boat School group is still getting their heads around how to turn their beds in to production machines. Luckily, they have LOTS of sun in that location, but other gardens may need to plan ahead more.
