Community Garden, Part VII

Wow, we haven’t had a garden update since the end of June! I guess since we got back from our Germany/France trip this summer, things have been a bit busy! There have been some garden casualties, as usual, which might have deterred us from writing a garden update. Specifically, all of the corn was eaten while we were away, and not by people — ground squirrels apparently fatten themselves up on all the corn in the community garden. We didn’t get a single ear! The cantaloupes, butternut squash, cucumbers, and pumpkins also died without even really making any flowers… might have been too cold for them? We ended up with about 11 out of the 100 onions we planted due to hungry gophers. But there were some steady producers that are done now — we actually got about four good miniature watermelons from our vines and more lettuce/salad mix from our salad buckets. Read on for the crops we’ve still managed to keep alive, including tasty carrots, beets, and zucchinis, and the new crops we’re trying to get growing over the winter!
