Alot of help and first harvest report

Posted by The Kinley's , Wednesday, May 19, 2010 9:26 PM

Great weather until tonight...  Super high winds up here as I write this, the worst being about 20-30 minutes ago.  It was so bad that we even thought a tornado or micro-burst was occurring.  Fortunately everything is okay so far.  We will have to wait until morning to know for sure, but running around in the garden tonight everything looks okay.
      A huge thanks to everyone that came out on Saturday!  We had a large number of students in all grades from roughly 3-11 grade.  We also had several adults and we accomplished quite a bit.  Again THANK YOU!
       Our first harvest was yesterday (Tues 18th) and it was a little, well, light :)  Radishes, chives and eggs (sounds like a great breakfast!)  We were hoping for more, especially in the lettuce department but the cooler weather has slowed us down some.  Fortunately we planned for cool weather crops so nothing has died, it just hasn't sprung (but then again neither has spring.)
    For all of our members, a reminder that Tuesdays are the pickup days here at the garden.  The farmers market downtown does not begin the Wednesday market until June.
    Until next time.....
