Hello,
In the morning a friend came over and
I shared some of my kale and collards with her. When picked it looked like
large bags full, but the kale, especially does not look as if any of it has
been picked. I have just so enjoyed the look of the garden. Those greens are as
beautiful to my eye as a flower. There is still some colorful chard in the mix
so that adds to the beauty. One good thing about the garden is that new weeds
do not so often appear as they are done for the season.
In the afternoon Leroy and I, along
with three others, worked in the community garden. We were cleaning it up, but
left much to grow. I did pull some tomatoes that were volunteers, but still
gave us their all in mostly small types of fruit. One of the tomato cages had
blown over so we got that plant out along with one that seemed to have only
brown leaves on it. I brought home all of the green tomatoes that were of a
size that promised a time to be ripe in the future. I took them because no one
else was interested in them. I thought we might pull the soybeans, but the pods
were not curling open. It will take quite a lot of work to pop them open so I
left them for another day. Leroy clipped off the okra and then dug out the
roots. He cut some of them to a smaller size so they could be easily bundled
and carted off.
All in all it was a very satisfying
afternoon. One of the people who helped also writes for an organization. I
thought I would share the link she posted.
