End of the Year Harvest!

Hi again!  On Tuesday we had our last big harvesting event.  We got a huge crop out of the first garden, but left the second one alone for now because there really isn't anything big enough to harvest.  Although we won't be maintaining the gardens as intensely over the summer as we are at the moment, we have decided (based on advice from Dick Pierce from the Sustainable Food Center) to leave some of our plants in the garden and cover the beds with compost and straw to replenish the soil and retain some water in it.  Here are some pictures of the harvest -- Enjoy!

Kale is another of our most robust crops.

 



Carrots!  These guys have exploded in the past three weeks.

Parsley, which has grown like a weed -- but a very tasty and attractive one.
