The SPIN kids returned for a final time this summer. Just about all the vegies – except the
tomatoes and winter squash – were ready to be picked.
Teams of two volunteers quickly picked the green, purple and
rose beans; zucchini and cucumbers, edamame and lettuces. We checked the tomatoes but they needed
another week to ripen.
The garden grew quiet – what should we do? Then one student quietly asked, “Can we check
the carrots?” What excitement as each
volunteer chose one or two carrots to pull from the patch! To our surprise there were orange and purple
carrots growing in the same row. We only pulled enough to thin the patch and left
the remainder to grow bigger over the next few weeks.
We harvested 28 pounds of veggies! (And quite a few pounds of weeds from the
squash patch)
SPIN volunteers and teacher, thank you for your help this
summer. You were great volunteers and
fun to teach and work with in the garden!
