Working mondays

Hooray! My gardening buddies all working together ! What a great way to start the week! It seems that the best day to get together as a group is early monday morning. A simple twist of fate had me scheduled to work in the office so I missed getting dirty with all of you, but I plan to be free most mondays from now on.  You did a  great job of weeding and planting more beans and Swiss chard in the empty space created by removing the cold frame and harvesting the spinach and arugula. Over the weekend I squeezed some fennel, basil, and lettuce in between the squash and eggplant. The garden is now fully planted and I will have to wait for more space to open up before I plant anything else. I was also busy harvesting and have quite a variety of things for sale out in the garage, including mixed baby greens, red and green lettuce, bok choy, Napa cabbage, garlic scapes, and radishes. In addition, I made some arugula pesto to try, Colleen has refilled the freezer with her delicious soups, and of course there are fresh local eggs available. I am always amazed at how much can be grown in a small area and with great help from my gardening buddies, we are off to a terrific start to the season!
