Monday, July 19th in the Garden

Just a few things to work on this week. I won't be in the garden tonight or Wednesday (vacation bible school) so I've left our task list on the center table (and also attached). Your continued help and support is so appreciated! Lots of tomatoes to pick. Be sure to try the Valencia tomatoes (yellow-orange)! We've started harvesting eggplant as well (mmm..love eggplant parmesean!)

Our July cooking class will be next Friday (July 30th) with a Mexican theme. Muy Caliente! More details to follow.

Have a great week everyone!

It WILL be good!
