Mother Nature must have been resting after a few hard days of rain. She forgot it's August in St. Louis! We had a beautiful overcast morning in the garden with temperatures around 70 degrees. In August! The previous rains helped make weeding so much easier. The garden is beautiful and bountiful at this time. Our herb garden is bursting with mint, rosemary, sage, and chives. The apples in the orchard are growing well, and we should have apples coming out of our ears next month.
Along with weeding and general cleaning, we harvested the rest of the potatoes, tomatoes, numerous various peppers, spaghetti squash, zucchini, and the rest of the onions. This is the perfect time of the year to make fresh salsa.
Our potluck was even more delicious enjoyed in such beautiful weather. Thank you to all of our volunteers for sharing your time, your food, and your conversations. Enjoy the rest of the summer!
