- Sweet potato harvest
- Culinary Garden
October 5, 2018
The rain this year has resulted in a good harvest - especially eggplant! We harvested 130 lbs. of eggplant this week and beat our record for eggplant in August! For this reason (and the fact that everyone is sick of eggplant!) we are retiring the crop and will not be planting eggplant next year.
The lettuce planted in June is now coming up in the boxes so we will continue to harvest them until the frost hits.
A few weeks ago, we harvested 210 lbs. of sweet potatoes!
We are looking for adult volunteers for Thursday, October 11th from 9 am -12 pm to help with winterizing the garden. If you can’t volunteer that day, then may you can contribute a shovel, a wheel barrel or other gardening tools. Select students from the Bellevue High School will also be volunteering their time to help winterize the garden. It is always a great time when the students are here!
Thanks to Tracey Nason, TBH's Nutritional Service leader, we got the culinary garden weeded, mulched, and strawberries planted - so it is ready to go for next year.
We are winding down the season, and it’s been a good year. I have a lot to be thankful for - especially the volunteers who help make the community garden possible.
