Kitchen Garden Update + Potluck

Please mark your calendars for the annual Kitchen Garden potluck! It will be on Sunday, September 17th from 4:30 to 7:30 PM and everyone is invited! We will also be offering a compost mini-training by Elisa Zazzera that same day. Keep an eye on your email for a reminder closer to the date.

It's been a busy summer, and with many of us in and out of town and catching up with various activities, we haven't been able to communicate as regularly as usual. Instead of trying to recap everything that's been going on, here is a selection of snapshots from the past few weeks. Enjoy and we hope to see you at the potluck!

The garden has been lush this summer!
Linda proudly displays one of her record breaking tomatos!
Here we are tasting one of the huge tomatoes--it was delicious!
Iris was exultant over her first carrots!
Thanks to Solange's husband we now have access to the tool shed once again! Yay!
Ben spent a good part of this day cutting back the overgrown weeds
Blanca ready for another gardening day!

The herbs are doing well.
And we're getting lots of cucumbers.
We've done a few seed experiments. These are cilantro seeds, also known as coriander. To be used as seed for next year of as spice.
