30 households, lots of work, and plenty to harvest.  Tomato cages were 
made to replace some of the older, worn cages. Turnips and beets were 
thinned, wire and metal supports were installed in the asparagus bed, 
the perennial beds were weeded, and wood chips continued to be spread 
throughout the garden on the pathways.  Though much of the broccoli 
crop had flowered there was still some to harvest and then the entire 
bed was cleared. The other harvested crops consisted of  kale,  Swiss 
chard, snow peas, beets, turnips, more kohlrabi, red leaf and romaine 
lettuce.  There was plenty for Our Daily Bread and thanks go to Scott 
and Joanne for making this week's delivery.

Growing right along.....

Lots got harvested today including broccoli, butter crunch and romaine lettuce, beets, all the arugula, all the radishes, and all the kolhrabi. The turnips were thinned as were the carrots and the heat-resistant lettuce.  Falling pea plants were trained, derby beans planted, compost turned, wood chips spread, and cages were placed around the pepper plants. The perennial beds were weeded and shaped.
