We answered the call this morning to help with some Irving schoolyard garden maintenance today.
Our mission was to harvest the box of radishes. But when we got to the school, it was clear that the lettuce was more than ready to be picked. And to the delight of our future farmkids, a good number of sugar snap peas were prime for picking and immediate eating.
We’re on watering duty in a couple of weeks. By then, we will likely see some mature cucumbers and some squash in place of the dozens of blossoms we saw this morning.
Oh, and the way things are going, we’ll see a lot more peas.
