There's lots of romaine lettuce in beds 1 and 2 that can be picked (by the leaf, not by the whole plant!!) and taken for salads, and today I saw about 5 or 6 ripe cucumbers, so come check it out and take some fresh vegetables. The spinach is pretty much done, but anyone who wants to take whole plants or leaves, feel free.
Important: Please document any and all vegetables you take from the garden and where you picked it/them. We will be getting a scale soon, at which time you should weigh and document anything you pick, but for now just write down what you picked, how much, and from what bed. Vegetables to be donated go inside the school, in the cooler just inside the inner greenhouse door (which is open on weekdays).
TASKS: Week of July 5th:
1) Hoe/Dig up large weeds from garden and bed edges. Strew more hay where necessary.
2) Weed the 6 raised beds (priority: beds 3&6 and row P6 (cucumbers) and anywhere there is bindweed)
3) Hoe/weed potatoes and potato isles. Then rototill and hill (Patrick will do that last bit)
4) Hoe/dig up row P5 (the failed beans)
5) Water, water, water!!!!
-Slight change! To turn on the drip system, just attach the hose end directly to the end of the black tubing. We're no longer using the green module. Then turn the spigot handle half-way (45 degrees). This seems to work nicely. For watering the potatoes or particularly dry spots, just detach the hose and attach the regular hose nozzle (which is stored in the greenhouse) and turn the water on all the way.
