Community Garden Update for August 27


from Ron Ory, Naperville Community Gardeners:
 
For those of you away for the weekend, we had our most significant rainfall of the year:  3.5 inches at the plots.
 
Yielding another 75 pounds of produce.  We're averaging over 200 lbs per week.  We're nearing 1,800 lbs for the season.  Do I hear 3,000?
 
We're also adding some cut flowers, leaving enough for the birds and the bees.
Our most prolific are cosmos
 
and sunflowers
 
We've also got some unusual ones, like this celoseus.
 
We're not only doing good for the year, but lookin' good, too!
 
Yay, TEAM!
