The 2018 garden looks great! Now, if we just keep ahead of the weeds, the growing season will continue to be successful.
The sunflowers are flowering and will probably be in full bloom by the end of July. Several other plants are beginning to flower including the sweet potatoes, so we may have some fruiting starting soon.
Some onions will be harvested next week with the rest being used as large onions later in the fall. The baby chard is almost ready to be harvested as well.
I want to thank all of the volunteers who work so hard to keep the garden tended throughout the season. A large THANK YOU to Cat Valero for his near 40 hours of garden help so far this year. Another THANK YOU to Bob Beck who has rototilled between the rows of plants to keep the garden weed free.
Don't forget, next week The Bellevue Hospital will host Drown's Garden Market on July 18 from 9 am - 2 pm. The Garden Market is open to the public and will offer a wide variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Please contact me if you have any questions, or are interested in getting involved with our Community Garden project.
