Suddenly Summer!

Rain and heat have helped some crops spring ahead and challenged others. The Aptiv garden has more, but both have food to pick, including turnips, kohlrabi, beets, beans, cabbage, broccoli, chard, kale, peas, dill (LOTS of dill at City Hall - please pull a plant or two and take it home), and potatoes. 

The potato plants have not died back yet, so if you want a couple of potatoes, please just fish around the soil surface near the crown of the plant. We all probably start to dig potatoes next week and more will be available then.

At Aptiv, on Friday mornings, we harvest stuff that's ready and put it in a produce stand under the shade tree. Today I think we have beens and chard. Take what you want.

We could really use some help weeding bed edges and paths at City Hall. You can go whenever you want to weed. Put weeds in the compost bin at the center of the garden. If you want help the first time, contact us and we'll meet you.

The City Hall garden is accessible via the #4 and #6 MTU bus. You can get to the Aptiv garden on the #1 bus.
