Lots of hard work today.

Thank you to everyone for all your hard work throughout the summer.

In the past week and a half we had a couple of good harvests.

And we were happy to pick our first batch of celery!

Our little aloe plant came back to life and we see the beets coming soon!

We continue to thank all who come to help, to talk, to visit, to accept the harvest.

Come and visit us or join in the gardening – we love to share in any way we can! 😊

With everyone’s help the garden is flourishing.

Thank you to all!

Hard at work again last Friday but lots of fun! 😎

The produce is coming along well, the carrots being a bit slower 🥕

We had some visitors again – we love that! 🙂

Photographers came to take pictures – can you spot the drone? 📷

The drone took an aerial shot – looks good!

And we love the little animals that keep popping in! 🐇

Thanks, everyone! 😊

Another great day but sure a bit cooler!

Got the peppers planted and the fence has been put up so the little ‘visitors’ don’t dig things up!

Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who don’t only come on Friday mornings but come by during the week to see how the garden is progressing.

Praise God for these beautiful people!
