Participation Garden - July
Jul. 14, 2009 1:39 pm
Our Participation Garden has entered its wild, overgrown stage.
Sure, it's not drawing global admiration like the Obama Victory Garden, but we did manage to negotiate a hard-won truce with rabbit insurgents. It's shaky, but holding, thanks to a new fence.
A few dead-enders are sniffing around, but they're in their last throws.
The endless flow of zucchini has started. Cucumbers are next. Followed by roughly 3 metric tons of tomatoes.
Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and zucchini fight it out for supremacy.
Meanwhile, out on the east 40, tomatoes take over. The marigolds don't stand a chance.
If you have favorite ideas/recipes for using all this bounty, send them along.
