Hello Faith & Food Volunteers!

I hope you are enjoying this Labor Day Weekend!

Some of you may have noticed our sign is gone.  Michael has taken it down to do some repairs and will return it when all is ready.  I have to admit, the fence looks a bit bare without the sign.

We want to thank the Okonkwos for tending the garden this past week and they will continue for next week.

Our Garden has been enjoying the weather and producing very well.  One week ago, Katrina delivered almost 6 pounds of produce to Food Gatherers, two weeks ago Marie delivered about 5 pounds of veggies and this past week, Barb delivered a whopping 20.7 pounds of veggies from our garden.  HOW WONDERFUL! 
Here's a little story from this past Thursday.  During the Thursday morning Craft Club, we enjoyed watching two fawns foraging around the picnic table and under the conifers.  Later that day, Barb and I received an email from Rachel saying she had seen them munching around the outside of the garden.  Then Barb let us know that some of the squash had been growing out of the garden and was now gone!  So, Barb has pulled all the squash away from the fence.  As cute as the deer are, we want to feed folks, not fawn. : )

I hope the first week back to school, for some of your children, goes smoothly and that all enjoy this first full week of September.  In no time at all, it will be October and most of the growing season will be done.  May we enjoy the rest of our first season of gardening together!

Blessings to all,
Cathy
