And one last table lined with tomatoes. Dont' let those little melons fool you - they are also stacked up under the table, and there are two wheelbarrows full on the carport.
Here's Sarah after she graciously went out into the heat to pick just enough hot peppers for a few members
...and here is the ubiquitous Mousey-Tongue, waiting for little Gwen to arrive with this weeks' issue of The Neighborhood News. I am here to tell you, that between her newspaper and cookies she baked, she now has her $100 (one quarter at a time) with which to buy her American Girl doll. You go, Gwen.
After some sleep and the putting away of all vestiges of this year's garden (hats, gloves, scissors and shears, bags, buckets, bins and baskets....and much more), we will call upon our dedicated and fabulous members to help us rip and tear and put the field to sleep for the fall. And they'll come help...many were actually asking about this (!) - hey - how many CSA's have members who will come months before the veggies come in and after its all over...this is what is meant by 'CSA' It's called COMMUNITY Supported Agriculture for a reason; it's not the dropping off of a box and 'here are your veggies for the week YOU figure it out'...ours is actually a community. wow.
Would you like to have one of your blogs featured at YourGardenShow.com?
ReplyDeleteThe first guest blog we posted came from a fairly new gardener in St. Louis who photographed the emergence of 13 year cicadas in his yard and the damage the cicadas did laying eggs on shrubs and trees.. There are many other blogs in the archives on the site, most written by me. However, I reccomend that you skip them for now and type "groundskeeper" in the Search box on the home page. That will take you to the "gardens" I have posted in my name on the site. One is my own garden. The title is "Our Grounds." Be sure to view the photographs at full size (there's a box drawn with green lines and an arrow for enlarging all the photos at once--it's at bottom right of the caption bar directly under the first photograph of each "garden." Seeing the photographs at full size also lets you read the captions and comments for each photograph and see plant ids for those that have been tagged.
I'll be interested in your reaction. Many people have told that navigation is not intuitive.
By the way, all my "gardens" are meant to model the many ways that members can show their gardens to each (part of my official duties). Mine don't include videos but the tools to add videos are built-in to the site. You could show your own garden in photographs, captions, tags, and in videos, as you like, and link to your blog.
