Broccoli Needs to be Harvested

Broccoli: Kids love it picked right off the stem!

I know some people have come to get zucchini and yellow squash and other veggies earlier in the summer. Right now we have broccoli that is soooo good! Soon the tomatoes will be ripe, more squash and corn....if the grasshoppers don't get it all first! Come help yourself. I just made a yummy broccoli cheese soup tonight.

The garden took a beating the past couple of weeks from the grasshoppers. I sprayed a perimeter around the garden to help protect it. It is doing much better this week. Hopefully we'll still get some corn...the grasshoppers were munching away at the cobs. Phew! There are all sorts of things that go into growing a garden! I'm so thankful for everyone who has helped out this summer! We're excited to see how the teachers and students will be able to use it this school year.
