August 30th, Watering Needs

Posted by audreyalfson on August 30, 2013 at 10:20 AM

Cardy Lewison and I picked and watered and cleaned out aged plants from beds this morning.  With the warm weather and constant watering things are producing very nicely.  All the beets are gone and we picked 12 pounds!!! of green beans.  I suspect for that the next week or two picking 8-12 pounds of beans every 2-3 days will not be unusual. Tomatoes are starting to come in as well. There will be quite a few ready for picking within a couple of days. Feel free to pick what you may need, keeping in mind that Joan and Judy pick for the Manor and Court sunday/monday/tuesday somewhere in there. Pick and share while the harvest hits!  It comes fast and goes just as fast!


Celeste Mader and kids are going to drop the harvest at the food shelf this afternoon, and any extra will go to the library.  I suspect that there will be plenty of extra beets and probably green beans, too, so check the library this evening!

I will be gone all weekend to visit a college roommate I haven't seen in years, so I won't be around to water.

It would be nice if we got some rain, but it's only a wish, I think.  It's supposed to be hot hot, too.  A quick watering of cucumbers, at least, and new pea shoots in square foot beds will probably be necessary by Saturday, if not sooner, and a thorough watering on Sunday will be timely.  If anyone is so inclined, thanks!!

Have a great weekend!
Audrey
