Harvest day for herbs and
strawberries! What a fragrant morning with our Summer Stretch volunteers
snipping the herbs - bounteous basil, chives, tarragon, cilantro, rosemary and
thyme. It was fun to crush a few leaves, enjoy the aroma and imagine
what type of food will be seasoned using these plants. Then it was on to
harvesting strawberries and delicately liberating the few weeds from
the raised beds. It is good to report that the corn we seeded last Wednesday is germinating with signs of young corn plants emerging from the soil.
On to weeding- which is much less of a choir this year with landscape fabric covering aisles and rows. Weeding work is now easy cultivation around the plants to get rid of the few weeds that appear and the errant grasses that like to make their way into the garden. Squash, cabbage and brussels sprouts rows were tidied. One of our youth volunteers help pull and pin the landscape fabric back into place in several areas to prevent future weeds.
Joni, special thanks for the refreshing watermelon snack after the work was done. Kudos to the Summer Stretch volunteers this week.
