Well, summer is past and so is the garden at SouthPaw Farm. The strawberries have been transplanted into the raised beds so they won't be plowed under, all the tomatoes have been picked and the ground cleared of most of the fruit, the potatoes have been dug up and everyone involved has gotten their fill of produce for the season. Pepper plants are still standing because they just won't stop producing! There were even 4 boxes full of tomatoes and potatoes donated to The Salvation Army food pantry for others to enjoy!
It's been a great second season for our garden. We are already thinking about how to improve the garden in the spring so we can cut down the work. We are thinking of mulching more, mowing the weeds down instead of tilling so much and inviting everyone to donate leaves and grass clippings to the effort.
Much thanks goes to Dennis for organizing the garden this year. Also thanks goes to all the volunteers who donated time to make our community garden a success.
