Bugle

The BCGG in the Brentwood Bugle!  

October 2015

It’s hard to believe the gardening season is wrapping up already…weren’t we just planting seeds?  We’ve had a great growing season at the Brentwood Community Garden, and we’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our garden members and volunteers for the immense effort they put in all year long to keep the garden looking fabulous!  We are thrilled about the construction of our beautiful pergola – a definite highlight of the season!  We are delighted to be a part of this wonderful community, and to grow and share together. 

October in the garden means harvesting the last of the root veggies, squash (if they haven’t frozen already!), and cool-weather plants such as kale. Comforting fall food is on the menu around my house, and that means using up some of the root vegetables from the garden – this is a go-to recipe for me.  (If you are a vegetarian, just omit the beef and substitute vegetable broth).
 
Slow-Cooker Cabbage and Beef Soup
1 small head red or green cabbage, chopped into bite-sized pieces
3 small potatoes, peeled, chopped into bite-sized pieces
3 large carrots, peeled, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 large onion, peeled, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, peeled, finely chopped
½ lb beef stewing meat, chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 cups tomato juice
2 cups beef broth
3 cups water
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper, to taste
Heat vegetable oil in a small frying pan over medium heat.  Add stewing meat and brown, turning once, for 5 minutes.  Remove from heat and place meat in the slow cooker.  Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.   Place the lid on the slow cooker and set on “LOW” for 8 to 10 hours.   Remove the bay leaf before ladling soup out into bowls.  Serve piping hot and enjoy!

September 2015

Can you believe it’s September already?  Once again, summer has flown by, and the garden is showing it:  we’re finished with the peas and beans and are now busy harvesting garlic, root veggies, and squash.

On Tuesday, July 28, the Brentwood Community Gardening Group held a big party to celebrate the building of our new pergola!  We were delighted to see so many people in attendance, and greatly enjoyed the time spent socializing with garden members and their families and all of our friends and neighbours.  If you haven’t yet had a chance to see our new pergola, do stop in at the garden the next time you’re out for a walk or a drive in the area – we’re sure you’ll agree it is absolutely beautiful! 

The BCGG would like to extend a huge thank you to our Safety and Maintenance Coordinator, Arnold Murray, who spearheaded the entire pergola project from start to finish, and to the many volunteers who contributed time and manpower to everything from design planning and consultation to the build itself:  Paul, Larry, Rik, Marty, Heinz, Willy, Holly, Linda, Cheryl, and Aaron.  We can’t show enough gratitude to you all for your outstanding efforts!  We’d also like to thank everyone who was involved in a parallel project, rejuvenating the garden benches:  Larry, Heinz, Cheryl, Linda, and Arnold.   Kudos also to all the garden members who have worked incredibly hard to keep the garden weed-free and tidy throughout the summer. 

Story Thyme at the garden, held by the Nose Hill Library, is now over for the season but it was a great success again this year – we are happy so many families came out to the garden to enjoy listening to the library staff read during four sessions in July and August. 

If you’re on social media, check out our Facebook page (Brentwood Community Gardening Group), or take a look at our Instagram pics:  @CommunityGardener.    We also have a blog where you can see more photos from our pergola build and the party, as well as keep track of all the happenings in the garden:  Brentwoodgardening@blogspot.ca .

August 2015

We’ve been enjoying a great summer at the garden!  It’s been wonderful to chat with fellow garden members and visitors whenever we stop in to water our produce or weed. 

July was an exciting – and challenging! - month at the Community Garden.  We were very happy to have completed construction of our new pergola early in the month, but we sadly experienced some vandalism on July 12, which resulted in damage to some of the garden structures and plants.  Fortunately, the pergola was spared, and the necessary repairs to the other structures have been made.   

I’ve been asked on occasion if we use chemicals in our garden to control pests and diseases – like other community gardens in the city, the Brentwood Community Garden is a completely chemical-free site!  As you do in your home gardens, we sometimes have to battle problems, but we’re careful to use only safe, environmentally-friendly controls.  Aphids get a blast of water from the garden hose, and flea beetles are discouraged through the use of row covers early on in the season (the covers also help shelter the plants from cold temperatures during spring nights).  Slugs are hand-picked (not a fun job, to be sure!).  Changing up the crops from year to year in the garden beds helps prevent certain soil-borne problems from occurring annually.  As in any garden setting, the diverse selection of plant life encourages beneficial insects to find food and habitat – and we see many birds stop in as well.

We hold Garden Grooming parties every month throughout the growing season – and one of our biggest jobs during these sessions is to take care of the weeding!  Thank you to all of our garden members for the hard work you do ensuring that the quackgrass and dandelions are kept at bay and the garden looks so neat and tidy. 

Around this time of the year, zucchini recipes start popping up everywhere.  Sometimes the plants produce faster than you can possibly contend with (or give away), but remember that you can freeze zucchini for later use.  The best way to do this is to scrub and then grate it (leave the peel on or off as you desire).  Portion and pack the shredded zucchini into freezer-safe bags or containers.  Thaw and drain it before using.  Add shredded fresh or thawed frozen zucchini to chicken or beef meatloaf, or use it in savoury vegetarian crepes or quiches, and, of course, desserts! 

Don’t forget to like us on Facebook, or check out our blog at Brentwoodgardening@blogspot.ca .  We’re also on Instagram:  @CommunityGardener. 

See you at the garden!

Summer has arrived in the garden, and everything is growing like crazy! 

We have some very exciting Brentwood Community Gardening Group news!  Having received approval from the BCA Board of Directors, using funds the Community Gardening Group has raised, we will purchase and build a pergola this summer.  The pergola project has been a concept of the BCGG since its inception, and we are very excited.  The pergola will be 10 feet by 10 feet, and will be situated in the northeast corner of the garden.  It will provide a shady resting place for all garden visitors.

The Brentwood Community Gardening Group is delighted to welcome a class of Grade 5/6 students from Captain John Palliser School.  We are also very happy to have the students from the Sir Winston Churchill Earth Club returning to garden with us again this year.  Both groups have planted their own beds and are involved in many different gardening activities. 

One of the highlights of summer at the Brentwood Community Garden is our partnership with the Nose Hill Library for the Story Thyme in the Garden program.  This is a fun opportunity for children to come down to the garden and spend some time listening to stories told by staff from the library.  This year, Story Thyme will be held on:  July 15, July 29, August 12 and August 26, from 10:15 am to 10:45 am.  Everyone is welcome! 

I was inspired by Story Thyme to come up with some great garden-themed books for young children.  Why not try a few of these titles?

A Cottage Garden Alphabet – Andrea Wisnewski
Mabel’s Magical Garden – Paula Metcalf
The Magical Garden of Claude Monet – Laurence Anholt

June 2015

Everything is in full swing at the Brentwood Community Garden!  This is one of my favourite times of year, and the garden is looking amazing with all the growing plants.  Everything is so fresh and brilliantly green!  The early flowers of our Native Garden are in bloom, and the haskap and rhubarb are producing fruit. 

Some of the gardeners have already harvested crops such as spinach and radishes that they planted in balmy April and May.  I like to put aside a few radishes for pickling, but one of the best ways to eat them fresh is to slice them very thinly onto a piece of homemade buttered bread and sprinkle a tiny amount of sea salt on top.  As for spinach, you can’t beat a fresh, crisp spinach salad – or perhaps you can try this creamy sauce recipe found in the Brentwood Community Gardening Group’s cookbook “Our Favourite Recipes.”
 
1 bunch Spring spinach or kale
½ cup toasted walnuts
2 cups cottage cheese
1 garlic clove, minced
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste
Steam spinach until wilted.  Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.  Serve with cooked pasta or as a dip. 

Rhubarb is another versatile plant to cook with – while I’m partial to Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake and Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie, another easy and delicious way to enjoy the tangy stalks is by chopping them into a saucepan, and adding a bit of water, cinnamon and honey (or your favourite sweetener).  Simmer gently until the rhubarb cooks down and the sauce thickens.  It’s amazing as a topper for vanilla ice cream or yogurt!

You can follow all the happenings at the garden on our Facebook page (Brentwood Community Gardening Group) or our blog (www.brentwoodgardening.blogspot.ca) – and if you’re walking by the garden, do stop in and chat with our busy gardeners or take a moment to sit and watch the bees buzz amongst the blooms.  It’s a great way to enjoy these early days of summer!

Gardening with My Grandchildren 

I am a Grandma with a passion for gardening.  As a child, helping tend my parent’s massive farm gardens seemed like drudgery.  Eventually, the rewards of munching on delicious fresh peas and crunchy crisp carrots straight from the garden got me hooked.  My plan was to make my grandchildren into gardeners. 

Garden projects started as preschoolers planting seeds in various receptacles.  Soon they were ‘helping’ grandma plant and harvest in her garden. We graduated to a garden in the country with a U Pick strawberry field.  There were rewards.  Imbibing in fresh strawberries and ice cream after helped get ALL the grandchildren hooked!! What small child wouldn’t be interested in witnessing the magical transformation of a small seed into a beautiful flower, delicious vegetable or luscious apple from a tree? 

But they got older. How does gardening compete with the lure of technology, sports and hanging out with one’s friends? My hope is that at the minimum they have gained a greater appreciation for fresh organically grown food and an understanding of where food comes from.  At least one is thoroughly hooked.  He wrote:

Gardening: by Alexander O’Neill (My grandson, 16)

The trowel digs into the dark earth,
Flung behind, the scattered turf.
Hands down into a hole gently dug,
Opens clenched fingers, around a tiny seed,
In all hopes this plant will succeed,
We'll come back out there and carefully weed,
The garden.
To grow a plant so tall,
The job changes, to keep the plant alive,
Watching the growth, day by day,
Weather ignored, coming out here anyway,
The misting rain, its light spray;
Feeding the plants to survive.
The garden.
Come autumn, the leaves turn red,
Care the frost, make the plants a bed.
To keep them alive just this little longer,
Before reaping the massive haul.
Carrots, beans, squash and all,
Pumpkins grow and flourish,
Their dark green color, 
Their beautiful scent,
Covering that garden with the beautiful display
A sight that any sane person would pay
To see.
A part of the land, to be,
In;
The garden.

April 2015


The Brentwood Community Gardening Group is gearing up for spring!  Although winter was unexpectedly mild, it still seems like a very long time since we were last in the garden!  Hopefully some gardeners experimented with winter sowing this year (it’s a fun project to do with children, as well).  I know by this time last year, a few of our gardeners had already direct-seeded some cool-weather crops into their raised beds at the garden. And I’m sure more than a few people have started some seeds indoors – or will do so very soon!   

The BCGG has started up with their regular meetings, and the big Annual Growers’ Meeting for all members will be held on April 15 (details on Facebook and the blog).  In March, the BCGG in conjunction with the Community Gardens Resources Network also held a fantastic presentation about soil health – it was great seeing so many people in attendance.  Many thanks to our wonderful speaker, Janet Melrose, who helped us understand how ”Earth Matters”!

For those of you who haven’t yet started their seeds indoors and are looking for a recipe to build your own seed starting mix, here are a couple of options. Don’t forget to clean and sterilize your containers.
1 part vermiculite or perlite
1 part peat moss or coir
Handful of horticultural sand (this isn’t “builder’s” or “play” sand.  Look for horticultural sand in garden centres).
OR
4 parts screened compost
1 part perlite
1 part vermiculite
2 parts peat moss or coir. 
A soilless mix such as the first one is usually recommended over ones containing loam or compost, but seed starting mixes vary from gardener to gardener, and you might have a special recipe that works best for you.  Why not head over to our Facebook page and share it with us?  (Just search “Brentwood Community Gardening Group”).  While you’re there, check out all the other happenings at the garden and give us a follow. Don’t forget to subscribe to our blog at www.brentwoodgardening.blogspot.ca.  Be sure to stop by the garden this spring and say hello to our gardeners as they get growing!

February 2015


It will be at least a couple of months yet before we can actually put any plants in our raised garden beds but the Brentwood Community Gardening Group is already gearing up for the 2015 growing season!  We’re poring through the seed catalogues, admiring the new selections and the tried and true, placing orders for our favourites.  Some of us are buying soil and trays in anticipation of starting plants indoors in a few weeks’ time.  Other members are marking their calendars for Calgary’s Seedy Saturday, held annually in March.

February is a big month for the Brentwood Community Gardening Group for another very important reason: it’s time for returning members to renew their memberships if they have not already done so.  Memberships are also available to anyone wishing to join this great group of enthusiastic gardeners!  There are plenty of perks for signing up – not only do you get a chance to grow your own veggies and flowers, but you can do so in the company of community-minded gardeners with a wide range of experience.  We hold several social and educational events yearly, and there are many volunteer opportunities available.

The Healing Power of a Community Garden

September:
Sunflowers turn their faces
To the morning sun,
Gardens lush with produce, reveal:
Healthy greens,
Sparkling reds,
Adorning flowers;
All heightened in the brilliance
Of the illuminating rays.
I smile to see my friends,
Community gardeners
Ambitiously rooting out any errant weeds,
Turning the compost;
Preparing the garden for the turn towards winter.
Linda and I muse what a wonderful,
Healing place this is, she and I
Widows who have felt the kindness
Of neighbours and earth.
How is it we all could be so blessed by the soil?

Linda and I, amongst others have personally become well aware of the gift nature gives us when we work in the garden.  We've learned that it becomes a year-long event:  from the planning and research that takes place in winter, to the busy season of preparing the soil and planting the garden in spring, to the frequent watering during summer, to the joy of experiencing the fruits of our labour in the fall.

None of the above is news to any person who has read about gardening.  It is the nuances of being in nature that have been the real blessings for Linda and me.  As persons who have lived through the difficult times of having a loved one very ill and then passing or lived through our own stresses of illness, the garden has become our sanctuary.  Exhausted from a day's events we have come to the garden mid-summer and simply sat on the benches recycled from Calgary Parks and Recreation.  Simply sitting, breathing, and letting the ambience of the thriving community of plants touch our hearts has given us the renewal to carry on with the day's potential challenges.  Our hearts have been gladdened.  When we have been unable to tend our own gardens because of illness or grief, our neighbours have been there for us kindly showing their care through the gentle acts of watering or putting the garden to bed for the winter.

It's a good place, the Community Garden - one that we have come to love.  That love has grown not only plants.  It has grown new friendships - friendships that carry us into the future, grounded by the sun-warmed earth.

November 2014


Can you believe it’s November already?  It seems like it was just late spring in the garden, and Brentwood Community Garden members were busily preparing the warming soil for the planting of seeds.  Summer absolutely flew by – we blinked, and it was already time to harvest zucchini and pumpkins, and enjoy the sight of the sunflowers and prairie coneflowers swaying in the breeze.  We were delighted with bountiful harvests of raspberries, rhubarb and, for the first time, haskap.  Although the early September snow storm took its toll and forced those of us with tomato plants to experiment with some pretty creative recipes with green tomatoes, the gardening season was largely a success. 

We would like to thank the Sir Winston Churchill Earth Club for their continued participation in the activities of the garden – the students are a huge part of what makes the garden as amazing as it is!   
We had a wonderful surprise in August at one of our Story Thyme events:  one of the librarians from the Nose Hill Library and a few children attending the program were interviewed in the garden and featured on CBC Radio’s Homestretch. 

Don’t forget, we are delighted to welcome visitors to the garden at any time – please stop in and chat if you’re out and about in the area.  (Please remember the garden beds are rented by members and any produce grown belongs to them).

October 2014


The arrival of the month of October wraps up a wonderful growing season for the Brentwood Community Garden. It is a time when garden members celebrate and share in the harvest, enjoying good food and great company. It is a time for colourful squash, crunchy carrots, and putting up beets in jars. It is a time for comparing notes, and chatting with other gardeners to figure out which plants thrived and what techniques worked (or didn’t). It is a time to thank garden members for pitching in to water plants during vacation time, and for offering up so many excellent ideas and suggestions during monthly meetings.  

It is also a time to reflect on the accomplishments of the summer away from the garden.  Travelling to fun and exciting destinations, changing job duties, learning new skills, delighting in the play of children, or taking time to help a friend, neighbour, or family member are all reasons to look back on the season with a smile.

Although the garden will soon be put to rest for the winter, a new round of planning has just begun. I am always reminded of the quote: “The gardening season officially begins on January 1st, and ends on December 31.”  Some garden members have sowed garlic, parsnips, and other crops this autumn in anticipation of next year. Fallen leaves will be collected to add to compost that will work its magic months down the road. Many gardeners are already dreaming of the orders they will make once the seed catalogues start pouring into their mailboxes after Christmas, and some will spend time researching designs for square foot plantings or the construction of hoop tunnels and other season extenders.  

If you are interested in renting a garden bed for 2015, or you are an existing member wishing to find out information about renewal, please contact the BCGG Membership Co-ordinator, Cheryl Moller (cm.checky@gmail.com). News and events are listed on the blog at http://brentwoodgardening.blogspot.ca/, and you can follow us on Facebook (Brentwood Community Gardening Group). Right now on the blog, you can check out photos of some of the flowers and produce grown this summer by our members!
