Today we made another delicious batch of applesauce, grated and froze two huge baskets of yellow squash, and harvested three large baskets of tomatoes. We also weeded, watered and cleaned, cleaned, cleaned! Tomorrow there will be a Ladies Tea here in the garden for women who are involved in gardening and agriculture. It will be a time to share stories and resources and for all of us to get to know each other better. The menu comes directly from the garden: applesauce, yogurt with raspberry sauce, zucchini bread, herb tea both hot and cold, tomatoes with cheese and basil and maybe some pickles. (for breakfast!?) And the tables will be decorated with fresh flowers from the garden too. Did I mention our own honey in the tea? It promises to be a wonderful event!     -Celia

The garden building is ready

Fine china

We removed everything from the patio and then swept

Nice work Mitchell!

Bill mows the grass

Nothing makes the garden look nicer than mowing!

Thank you Bill!
