We always think of peppers as hot weather lovers. This year has changed our minds completely. Our pepper bed has produced at least twice what it did last year, and has no plans to stop until frost comes. Peter Piper would be proud! The herb garden has also been loving the much cooler summer. Chives, rosemary and oregano are healthier than we've ever noticed.
We spent the morning cleaning out several beds in order to plant a few quick fall crops: spinach, lettuce, radishes, and a full bed of turnips. Along with the peppers and some herbs, we also picked tomatoes, eggplant and spaghetti squash. We finished the day with a delicious pot luck of black bean soup, corn bread casserole, mango cabbage salad, and raisin pie.
Thank you to all our volunteers, and we look forward to seeing everyone next month at the Children's Fall Social!!!
