Hi everyone. As
we move into the heat of the summer, our garden is on fire with many pizza
plantings to include plenty of peppers, tons of tomatoes, and the beginning of
construction for our brick pizza oven!
We enjoyed a pizza preview at our Pizza Cooking Class this past month as
Debbie Cook shared her Pampered Chef products and recipes in creating/serving
many different (delicious!) pizzas using our garden goodies for our
guests. Thank you everyone for your
appetites and support as we raised over $120 from individual donations along
with a percentage of Pampered Chef sales to be applied towards the building of
the brick oven by Kyle Gault and the earning of his Eagle badge.
Our “Cooking, Planning, and Canning with the Garden of
Concord” summer series continues this month with a canning class scheduled for
Saturday, 7/28 from 2-4pm. More info to
be processed soon! Also this month, we
look forward to tasting that first ripened tomato sandwiched in between some
Duke mayo (and a little pesto:) at our Tomato Sandwich Supper on Friday, 7/27
at 6pm! MMMMMMM!
We began “Tasty Tuesdays” last month and will continue
the first Tuesday of each continuing month as we share our garden with the
community while encouraging them to “Taste and see that the Lord is good!” (Psalm
34:8) Please invite your friends and neighbors
(including yourself!) to visit the garden and enjoy some of God’s
abundance..for free! We have also begun
our “Water Nights” on Tuesdays to help kool the Kidz followed by a thyme of
continued fun on Thursday nightz with “Kidz Thyme”!
Thank you everyone for your prayers and support of our
garden. It WILL be good!
