Greetings fellow gardeners, the last of the last was finished off last Saturday. The last 200 lbs of cabbage (our biggest head of cabbage was 13 lbs) was harvested, the plants were all pulled, the remaining tomato cages were cleaned and all 800 were stacked and stored for the winter. This Saturday we pull up the plastic mulch and drip tape. After that, the garden is officially closed for the season.
The only big job left is processing all the leaves and garden plants into a big pile of chopped up pre-compost ready for composting next summer. If the weather holds out, I should be done by December.
I have all the tally sheets from the season; I will be adding up all the totals and sending out an email before Thanksgiving.
Do you have any pumpkins that you used for decoration? Don't throw them in the trash; bring them to the garden and I will add them to the compost mix. I have a wooden pallet at the end of the church parking lot where you can drop off your pumpkins.
Last Saturday we stopped working early because we had a special lunch to attend. We enjoyed an 80th birthday party for Nancy Alderfer at the Souderton Home. Nancy has been a volunteer at the garden since day 1, over 18 years. WOOHOO Happy Birthday Nancy! Someday we will sit down and figure out how many pounds of weeds Nancy has pulled in 18 years. Too many to count!
Thank you to all the volunteers who took time out of their busy schedules this season to make the 2024 garden a great success.
