The tornado/strong winds that blew through Ferguson last week knocked over our best apple tree, and split a third off the apple tree next to it. We tried to replant the fallen tree and stake it for stability. We also did a little tree surgery on the split one. We all have our fingers crossed that they'll pull through.
Other than the storm, the spring has been very kind to the garden. The plants have loved the weather and are growing extremely well. The strawberries look better this year than ever, and it looks like we'll have a bumper grape crop this fall! The lettuce is beautiful and we took about 8-10 lbs of it to the food pantry. Also growing well? WEEDS!!! We spent the majority of the day trying to tame them.
Thanks to our volunteers that helped out today and we hope you all are enjoying your fresh fruits and veggies!!
