Please let us know how your garden and plants are doing. Send pictures, ask questions make comments. It’s important to take a note each year of how they’re doing and each year is unique weather and soil wise.
Eggplant are doing fabulous this year in containers with a good mix of pro mix and compost with some Jobes organic fertilizer stakes.
My tomatoes had a very slow start with all that rain and lack of sunshine, but have finally started growing. Cukes are happy.

Now is the time to check behind the leaves of your squash and zucchini plants. Cucumbers and such. Look for eggs on the backside of the leaves and remove them or squish them. They are the beginning of the end of your squash plants. They are called a squash bug. Time to get them and look for them is now.

Connecting Food to Health

The Greenhouse Project’s focus is to educate both children and adults about the relationship between the foods we eat and our personal and public health. The Greenhouse Project promotes a food ecosystem that is healthy for people, the environment and animals, and promotes disease prevention through diet, movement and active living. As a public charity, our programs benefit education, wellness, nutrition, and local hunger projects. Additionally, we operate a 3000 sq. ft. greenhouse in Scranton’s Nay Aug Park and three thriving community gardens. The greenhouse allows us to teach hands-on gardening & horticulture classes while we grow and sell plants and to help support our mission. The James Barrett McNulty Greenhouse is also used weekly with our yoga, tai chi, creative gardening and other classes as well as school educational tours. Hours are seasonal and depending upon volunteers and staffing. Check our events on our website: ScrantonGreenhouse.org or Facebook.
