The harvest is going strong with over 116 lbs. of produce harvested from the garden so far this season.  

The runner beans are still producing and are climbing beyond my reach on the sunflowers. 

I hope to pull up the rest of the sweet potatoes soon and put them in the boxes to cure. We are also going to cover some the sunflower heads with bonnets to collect the seeds.  They are edible and a rich source of omega 3’s. Tomorrow, Sept. 11, I hope to get the culinary garden ready for next year with pulling weeds, mulching, and transplanting strawberry plants from some of the boxes to the community garden.

I can't believe the season is almost over already! This summer went fast. 

If you have any suggestions for next year, or are interested in volunteering, please contact me at 419.484.5421.  Thanks for a wonderful season so far!
