Gillian’s weekly log:
This was another beautiful week in the garden!
Tuesday, Sept. 22:
Harvested beans with the Sunflower (early childhood) students. Harvested the last of the ripe heirloom tomatoes :( . Harvested Sun Gold cherry tomatoes.
Wednesday, Sept. 23:
Harvested leeks. A reporter from the Lawrence Journal-World interviewed students, faculty, staff, and me about the garden. Harvested spinach with the 1st graders. Started weeding and mulching the kale area.
Thursday, Sept. 24:
Picked flowers and herbs and prepared for the CSA.
This past week's weather:
The high for the week was 86, and the low was 48! (Fall is here!!)
0.1 inch of rain for the week.
We intended for the painted corn to be for this year’s CSA, but the plants did not yield enough for all the customers. We’ll use the colorful ears as decorations and seed-saving; perhaps the students can make jewelry from the seeds.
In the Okanis CSA bag this week: Rose Finn Apple Fingerling Potatoes, Yard Long Pole Beans, red onions, leeks, heirloom tomatoes, spinach, herbs, flowers, e-recipe.
