I’ve been spending some time at the Irving Garden this week. It’s my turn to weed, water and harvest to help keep the grow boxes thriving.
All looks really good, so much better than my own backyard raised bed.
I wasn’t expecting to do too much other than basic tending. But it was obvious when I got there that the green beans needed to be picked and trained up their tee pee. I ended up with a huge bag of booty from that one section. And it looked like I’ll need to pick more in yet another green bean plot.
I also picked some cucumber, a couple radishes and a squash. The kids identified everything except the delicata squash.
The kids will go back with me tonight to take on the rest of the beans, and maybe trim back some of the basil.
If you’re in the mood to get your hands dirty and are looking for some fresh greens for the dinner table, please join us, probably around 6.
