VOLUNTEER DAY
This week we held a volunteer day on Saturday, August 13th. The crew worked hard in the garden and did a great job! Thank you for all of your time and effort! While digging up and harvesting the purple potatoes, one of our volunteers uncovered a large toad hiding under the ground! We also spotted a baby bunny which the kids just loved! Some of the volunteers worked on laying a fresh layer of newspapers and wood chips on the weeded pathways throughout the garden, while others worked on weeding and harvesting.
This week, we also removed the fading broccoli plants, cleaned out and prepared the beds, and planted lots of new seeds to sow next year. We also did some pea-staking of pepper plants and some flowering perennials.
THE HARVEST
We had over a whopping 60 pounds of vegetables to harvest and donate this week! Lots of tomatoes, green onions, purple potatoes (above), peppers, zucchini, rhubarb, kale, okra, cabbage, leeks, basil and rosemary.
