| It is too pretty to eat, isn't it, Roselee? But we do. ;) They provide us workers with hot plates and toaster ovens so we can cook for lunch, and lots of people do. One of my favorite things is to pick a bunch of lettuce leaves and top them with boiled eggs and dressing I've brought. I need to bring some bacon today to boil up some of those mustard greens in the fifth picture. We're re-doing the website, Matx, and I asked Holly, the lady who takes care of getting the website stuff done, if they're planning a blog to let everyone know what's going on in the garden. She said no, it would be too labor-intensive, but they might do something like that in the newsletter (no promises, but maybe mention the results of anything like that). Are you signed up for it? We currently send it out via email ~ I'm not sure if that will change, but I do know it will be posted on the website each week. If you want to get it now, send me your email address and I'll get you signed up (there's no way to sign up for it on the site right now ~ you have to do it in person and I don't mind doing it for you). BTW, the test plot was more of a demonstration to show how much better veggies do with the mycorrhizae additive (I know I'm spelling that wrong) that's new to us. It's a beneficial fungus that grows symbiotically with the plants' roots, helping them gather more nutrients and moisture. I need to specifically look at those today to see if there's a difference between the ones planted with and the ones without. I was a bit concerned that the two were planted too close together for an accurate assessment, but I think it was unfounded ~ it does seem from the pics that there's a difference already. Isn't it, Carrie?! I'm constantly amazed every time I see it. My section is right next to it, so I get to see it every morning and all day as I work. LOVE. That. |
