Weed&Feed #2




This Wednesday we had another Weed&Feed volunteer day. It was a huge success! We snacked on carrots and dip while harvesting green beans, planting broccoli, and tying up vines. It was a wonderful day in the garden, despite the hot weather!

The Fame

Today we had a South Bend Tribune reporter come out to the Garden! It rained while she was given a tour of the produce, and it poured whilst we picked lettuce. Luckily the photographer and the reporter both brought umbrellas. So we continued our process of making a salad and went to the kitchen. There, two Assistant Chefs washed and tore the lettuce and added a few more varieties to create a salad! There will be an article in the South Bend Tribune tomorrow.

It's business time!







Recently, the Garden has been visited by a variety of volunteers! We had people from the Unity Gardens volunteer today, grooming flowers (seen in upper left). Yesterday, a few people came out for a Wednesday Weed & Feed, where they weeded the garden and lay down mulch while munching on fresh veggies! The lowest picture shows some bean seedlings, recently spotted sprouting. It's been a very busy week in the Garden!
