A minor break in the heat wave welcomed our gardeners yesterday morning, although it wasn't much relief. Julia, Gail, Irma, Sharon, Dwayne, Brian, and Dot joined us (along with the kids of course!) to a morning of weeding and mulching. How do weeds thrive so well in this heat!?! Larry and Brian worked on the tool shed and finished the roof. Many of our vegetables have not fared well in this heat. However the peppers are loving it! One thing that we've noticed is that people in the area have been picking vegetables from the individual plots. We'll have to put up a sign that says, "If you didn't plant it, please don't pick it."
We ended our day with a fantastic lunch for a hot day just as rain clouds rolled in. Julia prepared a build-it-yourself taco salad with all the fixings, and made too good to be true blueberry lemon bars. Brian thought it was too hot to eat, but the rest of us shook our head at him as our mouths were too full to talk.
Thanks to everyone for their sweat equity (literally!) at the garden. We're all looking forward to the cooler days of fall planting!
