Community Garden, Part VI

Although our last community garden update was just the beginning of this month, things have changed so much that it’s high time for another update on our plot! As usual, we’ve suffered more losses, but are learning from them to have a brighter organic garden future. The biggest winner has got to be the zucchini for sheer production of fruit. Other big winners of this update are the corn (they won last time too!) and the watermelon. Both have yet to produce edible fruit, but we believe in them! Close runners-up are the lettuce, which has given us many salads, and the snow peas. We had to finally give up on the tomatoes, but have planted other things in their place! The garden goes on!

Community Garden, Part V

We thought it definitely time to give another update on our community garden plot! We’ve suffered some losses to potentially rabbits and some kind of devastating tomato disease, but we’ve had a lot of success stories this time as well. The biggest winners of this update are definitely the potatoes and corn — they’ve been doing great and are a lot of fun! Close runner-ups are the strawberries and lettuce — already been eating our salad green mix, and can’t wait for the first strawberry!
