We are receiving some desperately needed rain this morning--good news for the thirsty plants and for our rainwater collection system, which we use to collect water from a warehouse roof and pump water all across the 12 beds of the garden with! While I am writing from indoors this morning, I would like to showcase some of our recent harvests from the past few days, beginning with Friday's harvest of cucumbers, tomatoes, kale, tomatillos, peppers, shallots, a pie pumpkin, butternut squash, and a basket of white potatoes. On Monday, we harvested more butternut squash, pie pumpkins, kale, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and onions as well as a few acorn squash, honeynut squash (a cross between the classic butternut and the sweet buttercup squash), watermelons, beets, zucchini, turnips, and broccoli.
