Yes, It Was Hot Out There!

In spite of the brutal heat, 23 families tackled today's garden work. 
Weeds had gotten out of hand, so a massive effort was made to weed the 
beds. The compost in the bin was turned and lots of new material 
added.  Fava beans and the older bed of bush beans were harvested and 
pulled, making way for a variety of seeds of summer crops.  The green 
cabbage was all harvested as were some of the red cabbage.  Other 
crops that were harvested were beets, kale, chard, oregano, basil, and 
finger eggplants.

Thanks to Debra who delivered today's harvest to Our Daily Bread. 
Many thanks to Robin for continuing to come to the garden several 
times a week to do organic battle with the insects.  And thanks again 
to Jennifer for organizing the July 4th garden tours.

As discussed at today's workday, we will have a work evening this Thursday, July 11, at 6:00 p.m. in order to work in cooler weather. 

The 2 tasks to be accomplished will be to paint the shed and level out the wood chips in the tree area.

And, yes, we will still have a regular workday on Sunday, July 14, at 9:00 a.m.

On Thursday, please bring a paintbrush and a plastic container for cleaning your brush in water.
