On Wed the 23rd we were pleased to find that the garden had received about 1/2 inch of rain in the previous two days which meant that we didn’t have to water. Steve, Molly, Cathy, were all busy harvesting when I arrived, Amber and family and Erin and family also were helping with the bounty of tomatos, green beans, squash, peppers, eggplants, chard, kale, okra, and corn that we picked. Ingrid was there and picking enthusiastically as was Jeany, Desiree and Claudia, Debby, and Geri. The old corn patch was cleared and turned over to prepare for the garlic that will be planted soon. So nice to have such a large group to work with. After everyone took their produce we boxed up the surplus and Amber was gracious enough to take it to Laura Bittner at the extension office, thanks again Amber. Oh head, Linda was also there helping with the harvesting! See you Saturday, I just received the tomato mill and I will give it a test run before bringing it to the garden on Saturday. Also don’t forget the potluck on Wed. We have several melons to pick and prepare for all to share! Suzanne
