And now...the fun part!


The harvesting has started in earnest!  We have had radishes, cucumbers,  yellow squash, zuchinni and now we are picking green beans, beets, onions and peppers, too!

Check out some of the pictures!

The sweet corn could use some rain, but is doing well!




The zuchinnis are growing.
     

 
The tomatoes are looking great and should be ready soon!




The winter squash and the watermelon plants are doing well, too.



The harvest is beautiful!


We pray God's blessings on all those that are touched by this beautiful mission project!

The hard work is paying off!

We have had many hands hard at work in the garden this summer!  Although we have had more weeds to deal with this year, the crew seems to have them in control!  We are starting to see some of the fruits (or, in this case, vegetables!) of our labor.  :)


The potatoes are up and we are hoping we can keep the rabbits out of them until it's time to dig them!



The peppers are getting bigger!



The tomatoes and onions are looking great!  We could use some prayers for rain though!


And the sweet corn is tassled out!




Doc replanted green beans (since the rabbits ate so many of the first ones we planted) and he's added rhubarb for next year!




It's fun to work with such a great group of people and learn so much about gardening at the same time.  It makes me smile to already hear talk of "what we should do next year".  If you want to be part of something wonderful, and get some dirt under your nails while you're at it, come join the fun!  We will also be looking for people to make deliveries to the food pantry in Monroe.  If you can help out, just let us know!  Thank you and God bless!
