HarvestingSaturday, July 12th was our first official harvesting day.
We harvested radishes, zucchini, broccoli, peas, basil, rosemary, lemon balm, chives, and parsley. We celebrated with bread, cheese,
lemonade, water, and pasta salad - a veritable feast!Watering
It looks like the drip system is firmly in place. If you have not already stopped watering the garden according to our previous schedule, please stop watering according to that schedule now - we will let the drip system do its work.
If you see a particular plant needing some extra water, please use the watering can or remove the nozzle on the hose and water the plant directly and deeply. The herbs on the south (grassy) side also still need watering.Making these changes will help reduce the amount of water we are using for the garden.
