Another Successful Harvest

You'll have to use your imagination with this post... in my excitement I never took a photo! Last night Corinna Melino and her three children, Alayna, Serafina and James, helped harvest and sell this week's produce for the Hot Summer Nights Concert Series. They found several cucumbers and squash, dozens of beans, carrots of all sizes and colors, two varieties of kale and some rainbow swiss chard. If you would like to help harvest, we meet Thursdays at 5:30 PM at the hoop house behind Central School. We'd love to have you! The proceeds from our farmer's markets will go towards general upkeep and maintenance, such as seeds for our fall gardens!
     Wait! I also want to thank Will Lusenhop, Lisa Jones and their children Jack and Sophie for watering the hoop house this past week. We've had several families sign up to take either a week or weekend to water and help maintain our gardens. This has been so helpful, especially on those hot summer days! If your family is willing to help water for a week or weekend in August, please email Pauliina Pope at cesoutdoors@gmail.com, I believe we still have some openings!
