Volunteers from Summer Stretch at WPGUMG arrived
on this beautiful and sunny morning to help harvest (and pull a few
weeds along the way).
The cucumbers are climbing the tee-pees making it easier to find the
beautiful produce. Yellow summer squash and green zucchini are
abundant. We thinned the rutabagas and beets a bit to allow the
plants some "breathing room".
The butternut squash
and patty pans were looking a bit under the weather after the heavy rains so we bolstered them with a good dose of Miracle Grow fertilizer. The round shaped "Eight ball" squash from the patty pan seed trials are very prolific producers.
The volunteers enjoyed hunting for the differently shaped patty pans. In all, we harvested 50# of produce!
