What a beautiful day for gardening. We had the pleasure of digging in the dirt for a spectacular summer harvest. As you can see in the first picture, we picked a LOT to divide up between our volunteers: red, yellow, and white onions, garlic, carrots, swiss chard, cucumbers, zucchini, sweet peppers, green peppers, jalapenos, eggplant and several pounds of fingerling potatoes! Dot also took several bags of produce (not shown) to the food pantry. Our garden is loving this weather as much as we are!
We spent a good portion of the day fighting weeds that have been thriving this mild summer. Several neighborhood children stopped by to help us weed around the apple trees. While weeding, we found a rabbit burrow in one of the raised beds. Four little bunnies (pictured above) were quite cozy in their community garden home.
Thank you to all our volunteers for your dedication, hard work, and for participating in our pot luck lunch!
