Today was all about that harvest! We’ve harvested and donated an incredible 206 pounds* so far this month–and we’re only 10 days in! We’ve already met the total donations for this month from last year! Be very proud, gardeners!
(*yes, this is a little different from what was announced today, but math on the fly is tricky when the donations are piling up!)
We also mulched our path (yes, again!) and worked on cleaning up our garden beds. Try to protect your tomatoes from early blight by tying up your vines to keep them off the ground and trimming off and throwing away any diseased leaves. Try to water down low to avoid spreading blight higher up your plant.
Keep an eye out for damage from squash bores (it’ll look like the plant Dan is holding above), which will eat the plant from the inside out. If this happens to you, pull the whole plant and plant something new. You’ll get a second chance at squash a bit later in the fall.
Hang in there, gardeners!
Our next workday is earlier in the day to try to avoid the worst of the summer heat–Saturday, July 8, from 8-10. See you there!
