 14 pounds of chard! The garden life never stops, but at least the weather is turning in our favor. As the sun comes out so does the squash, and we’ve planted enough recently to have quite the harvest eventually. However, while we wait for the squash to emerge we’ve already been in over our heads with mountains of chard. We harvested over 14 pounds in the last two weeks, so eat up! |  Cosmos harvests chard. |
 Nancy harvests _more_ chard. Also, please mark your calendars for the cob workshop (see the workshop tab for info). We’ve managed to clear out a space in the permaculture garden for a beautiful cob bench which will overlook both the garden and the new pond that is planned for the meadow. The cob oven is planned for the space between the garden and the common house, and if you can only make it to one workshop then the final one would be best as we will be making a cob oven pizza. Yum! | The permaculture garden has been filled up with new goodies which we will have to wait for (surprise, surprise), but strawberries are in full bloom. If you haven’t stopped by for a fresh, juicy morsel you should definitely check it out; although, I can’t imagine that they will all be eaten. It seems like every day they multiply! I swear I’ve eaten more strawberries in the last two weeks than I have in the last ten years. Ha ha.  Marnee and I munch on strawberries. |
Finally, per request, I’ve managed to snap a few photos of the residents who are out and about. Enjoy!
