Greetings!

A big thank-you to Julie Jarrett and Donna Allen for helping me bag the dill and chives from our herb garden for the Farmer’s market, Clyde food bank and Fish and Loaves food bank.  Our herb production is off due to changes made in the gardens but we still bagged 134 bags of herbs yesterday! 

I am finalizing the plans for the Bellevue Farmer’s Market demonstrations in August.  This Farmer’s Market is on Thursdays from 3-7 p.m. On August 9 we will be demonstrating how to cook red cabbage and eggplant.  On August 16 we will demonstrate "Healthy Eating to Delay Heart Disease and may feature carrots, green onions and garlic recipes.  On August 23 we will demonstrate "Healthy Eating to Delay Diabetes" and may feature, green beans and peppers. The last Farmer's Market on August 30 will feature healthy eating tips that may help delay cancer and will feature recipes with chard, radishes, and lettuce.  Information on these diseases will be available along with some food samples. 

We have planted the remaining boxes and all but the carrots are up.  I only hope the birds didn’t eat the carrot seeds. If you get a chance visit the garden and take a look! I think this is the best looking TBH Community Garden yet. Thank you to all the volunteers who make this possible year after year!
