Update

Hello Faith & Food Volunteers!

It's been very warm and this week will be VERY HOT!  We thank Laura Kett for tending the garden last week.  She reported that she delivered peas to Food Gatherers and more will be ready this week.  BTW: all receipts from Food Gatherers' deliveries should be put in Barb Okonkwo's mailbox.  If you are not offered a receipt, be sure to ask for one.  Thanks!

This week, Muriel Learned and Malo Engle will tend the garden.  I'm sure it will need watering daily. 

Muriel & Malo: Laura put some peas in the church frig to add to what is picked this week for a larger amount to go to Food Gatherers, so please grab them when you take a run to Food Gatherers.  It looks like the kale and some of the collards are ready for delivery, too.  Laura mentioned some of the carrots still need thinning (next year we need to spread the carrot seeds very lightly when planting) and beans are coming on and may need picking.  She also mentioned the cherry tomato plant in the black pot is not doing well.  It may need a bigger pot, it may dry out faster being in a black pot... not sure what the cause is, but let's remember to water it along with the shrubs and flower tubs at the front of the garden.

I pulled the trailing squash vines out of the raised beds so they can grow and spread, so take care when walking the paths in that area. 

Finally, when I went to the church this morning, the water had been left on.  Not sure if it was our group or someone else, but please remember to turn the water off at the main valve on the church.  We don't want to waste resources.

Have a good week,
Cathy
