Tomato plants (little puny, but hopefully will come around if we keep them watered)


Carrots


Cucumbers and green peppers





New flowers (in the prior pea bed) and radish row in the bottom right corner



Caden's corner with some new flowers


New flowers

Lettuce and green beans


I went to Jung's this morning and bought some of their discounted annuals with my Jung's dollars. Nothing looked very good, but hopefully with some TLC these flowers will go crazy and look beautiful for the festival. :) (Can't hurt to hope.)

You may have noticed that we have many potted plants in the garden. One of our former students started all these plants on his apartment patio and ran out of room. He asked both Fr. Schmitt and I if he could add them into our garden. Please don't weed anything in these pots. Thank you!

PLEASE feel free to stop in and snip some lettuce (plenty!), and pull some green beans and carrots. Between Diane Neal and her son, Payton, and I we reseeded more spinach, beets and radishes. There will be plenty of cucumbers and tomatoes soon! :)

Been a month....

A huge thanks goes out to those of you who have kept the garden weeded and watered. I drove by tonight (couldn't wait until tomorrow to see it). I added a second level to the cucumber "ladder". As I wandered around I found that all of the spinach had gone to seed and the radishes where the size of beets. The peas are well past harvest, too. I pulled all the radishes and spinach plants and I will harvest all the peas and take them all out of their pods. I hope to get those put in the freezer for the cafeteria to use in the fall. The carrots are looking great.

Thanks again to all those who kept an eye on the garden! :) Kim

ps. Pictures to come...
