Wow the summer has certainly flown by, and I’m sure the plants would uproot and take off into flight if they could too. That is just how successful the garden has been!
In the last month so much has happened. To begin, Songaia got its first two WWOOF workers, and working away is something they certainly have been doing a lot of. Thanks to Adam, Max  and Doug, the garden now has a complete irrigation system in the new food forest. With a little more time adding further drip lines, the area will be prime space for more food and whatever else tickles our fancy.
If you haven’t noticed yet, harvesting has been in abundance. Many people have put in time gathering, freezing, drying, and even just cooking all the tomatoes, beans, plums, cucumbers, zucchinis, kohlrabi, potatoes, and even eye-popping dahlias. While we’ve realized that we may be in over our heads with plums and green beans, the rest of the food has certainly been a delight.
The next task is to prepare for winter. We’ve already started knocking over buckwheat, which was a great space saver, and have started planting Swiss Chard. While we are just at the beginning stages for winter plans, it is never too early to get ready to eat and eat…. at another time of year.
A special thank you goes out to Katie for all the extra help in the garden while Patricia was been out of town. Also, we’re delighted to welcome Patricia back from her long trip. With a full garden team back in the swing of things, we’ll take a bite out of, well, the garden of course.
