Tomatoes are the Big Crop of the Summer

Thanks to all the gardeners who planted tomatoes and basil last workday on June 11, the garden is alive with tomatoes.  Thank you Christine for all the tomato and basil transplants!  Summer in the garden is a little quiet, but  our great community partners headed by Dorothy come and water and maintain all the fruit trees at the south end of the garden.  On Fridays Ms. Cohen has a fun group of College Bound students preparing beds and planting.  Every other Tuesday, Sister Rashida comes and works with a group.  Our newest garden angel is Jennifer Sullivan, also our new PTO president.  She brings a crew of young people each week to water the mandala garden.  The tomatoes thank them:-)  and they are growing beans and sunflowers.  
Don't forget that you can join us Saturday, July 23 from 9-noon and help us with building and maintenance.  We will be sheet mulching the mandala garden pathways to eradicate the crab grass, plus weeding and other fun crafts.  Bring sunscreen and hats and join us!
