| this week's harvest--given to the Food Pantry |
Els, Solange and
I met this past Saturday to continue with the work at the garden.
We did the usual weeding, cutting the grass around the beds, and
pruning of plants. Els brought over a natural pesticide that we applied to
some of the vegetables that were being eaten by the insects. We noticed some
new cucumbers, peppers and a lot of tomatoes that are nearly ready to
be harvested.
We will need to continue with the watering although
last week due to the torrential rains watering was reduced. I will
be at the garden this Saturday from 9 am to noon --we'll turn the compost and
cover some of the beds with hay or mulch.
There is
a quite a bit of Kale, Swiss chard, cucumbers and herbs that can be harvested
for the food pantry. I will stop by Tuesday and harvest
some of these vegetables and leave them in a basket near the pantry.
