What we've been up to all summer

It's been a rough summer:  too hot and dry for too long. 
Our garden has had it's up and downs.  See for yourself.

Close to 2,000 pounds harvested so far.


For 8 Tuesday evenings a group of gardeners and community members practiced yoga in the garden.  Yep, it was hot at times.



We had a cooking demonstration thanks to Operation Food Search and a Diabetes talk.




We had some help with the mowing.  Thanks, Rodney.



We struggled to keep everything watered. It takes everything we've got...

Our first Saturday with Matt Even, Hub Garden liasion from Gateway Greening, was a tool sharpening demo.


We're not done yet.  We have gardening and growing to do.  Maybe more yoga in the fall.  Some events you won't want to miss.  Even a Zoo class.

Looks like more "UPS" than "DOWNS" in 2012.
