The Harvest is Coming in...

It has been fun watching the harvest come in and quite amazing to see how much food is being produced in each 4' by 8' bed.  When we have visitors at the garden everyone is very impressed with what we are growing.  More and more people are stopping by to see what we are doing. Just this past weekend I talked to 4 separate sets of visitors and I'm sure there were more when I wasn't there.


 
I wish I had taken a picture of Leah with her broccoli that she harvested this weekend. She was so excited about her first broccoli head that was ready to eat.  However, I do have a picture of Dalita and her broccoli harvest.

 
 
 Saturday Mike and Sue harvested their first carrot of the season.


 
 

Caully's Festive Attire

I'm not sure if Caully is really his name but he certainly is dressed appropriately for the season!


 
Why look...he is dining on a freshly pulled carrot. Maybe this is where all the vegetables in Mike's bed have gone recently. Pretty soon Mike will be finding caully-doo to help fertilize the remaining vegetables.

Do you Want to Learn More about Growing Vegetables

Hey Everyone,
   If you are interested in learning more about vegetable gardening I know of a FREE online class you can take.  Anyone who has a Cobb County Library Card can sign up for it. Just log onto Cobbcat.org and then click on E-Library on the left side of the page.  Or you can use this link to find the ed2go link.  ed2go at Cobb County Library

  Each session of the vegetable gardening class (they call it Start Your Own Edible Garden) is 6 weeks long and you go at your own pace.  They have sessions starting up Dec 12, Jan 16, Feb 20 & Mar 20. 

  I've found it very informative and interesting.  Definitely well worth the time I've put into it. The price can't be beat either!
