Let's clean up and re-group a little

We will likely pause our produce delivery to the pantry this coming week.

The work party on Monday evening ~6PM will involve cleaning up the garden. We will remove damaged and unhealthy plants. We will try to clean up our piles of organic matter to make the garden more accessible. We will have a momentary lapse in produce delivery to the pantry until we can catch up and clean up the garden a little. We will make the call on Monday night depending on how much we accomplish.

The tomato trellis did not hold up to our laden vines. As a result the vines sprawled on the ground. This is not a good situation for tomatoes. We will do better next year. We have lots of ideas for how to improve. We were able to harvest more than 120 lbs of tomatoes so far this year.

Meanwhile the bean vines are super huge and overgrown with almost no beans. Out of this mess of vines we harvested only 1 pound of beans.

Our produce values are based on farmers’ market prices. Examples: Herb bunches $2/bunch. Beet bunches cost $3. Tomatoes and peppers go for $3/lb. Please reach out to Jason if you would like more information about the produce data.
