the garden is emptying

a trip out to campus on a holiday weekend shows me that there has been quite a bit of harvesting out in the garden ( and that's not an editorial...it's what we want...the produce put to use out in the community...this is good news folks )...the cabbage ( first photo ) is all gone and the collards in the biology club bed ( second photo ) are pretty well picked over ( and out of the bed ) ...the cherry tomato plants are picked clean ( third photo ) and the bean/cucumber wall ( bottom photo ) is, for the first time i can recall, bereft of pods and cukes...there are still spuds out there nad there is still the jerusalem artichoke harvest to come 9 i was digging around a bit in that bed and it looks like the harvest will not disappoint...hope everyone turns out to like them ) there has been interest in the garden this season out in the community at large ( shannon has certainly expressed interest in working a bed next season as have a few others...still waiting on follow-up from a few other people )...the new site has created some interest and has obviously attracted harvesters...with some work we may be able to solidify a larger community in 2015...community = garden longevity.
