Update: Week of August 30th

The garden is producing pounds and pounds of veggies! Everyone should feel free to pick some tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, or onions to bring home. Peas and broccoli are starting to grow in beds 4 ands 5. Try to weed around them and keep them growing.

Hopefully, the cafeteria will soon be serving garden vegetables at school lunches. However, the cooler is no longer in the hallway by the greenhouse, so please don't harvest anything you plan to store there.

Note: A lawn-mower mishap broke one of the hoses, so for now, there's a new system for anyone who wants to water the garden. First, grab the usual loop of hose from inside the greenhouse and unravel it as far as it goes. To your right when you walk into the greenhouse from outside, there's a spool of hose on wheels (the spool is grey and the hose dark green). Roll the spool outside, hook it to the first hose, and unravel the spool to hook the dark green hose to the hose by the garden. Then turn on the spigot in the greenhouse and proceed as usual.
