Week 6, 7

Evidently, gardening at the Lord's Acre is becoming so much of a routine now, I've forgotten to blog about it. In the last two weeks, we have:

• discussed good bugs VS. bad bugs
• read childrens' books
• harvested green onions, green beans, lots of carrots, and the last of the brassicas
• learned about common diseases and early/late tomato blights
• pruned tomato plants
• trellised and trained the bean plants
• harvested loads of red and white potatoes
• weeded the melon and eggplant
• made seed bombs and collected raspberries with the sprouts class
• somehow survived the hot, hot weather

Today we ended volunteer night with a last-minute potluck with eight or nine people. Our selection was far from normal, which included a dish from Transylvania, chicken and corn, pita and hummus, thin mints, fermented watermelon, peanuts, and pasta. Delicious no less.
I can't believe my time is more than / about half way over. I have learned to love the garden and all the hard work is takes to keep it so wonderfully beautiful and productive. I've come to love the people involved and the food it produces. And I know I will be sad to say goodbye come August.
