October Harvest Party

Brian harvested the seeds from our sunflowers - they're delicious! While so many of sunflowers were sacrificed to the squirrels this summer, they were worth planting for just that reason - they protected the rest of the garden from that most persistent pest for most of the season. Several times we saw at least three different types of bees on the sunflowers' faces at one time (one variety I'd never seen before).

The garden is going through a tough transition right now - we've faced below-freezing temperatures for most of the week, and four inches of snow today. Luckily, the harvest hasn't quite ended. Speaking of harvests...

The next monthly Harvest Potluck will be on Sunday, October 25th at Betsy and Matt's house (2537 Bluff - near the corner of Bluff and Folsom) at 2pm.

Hope to see all the regulars! If you've never been - it's a local food potluck/party, join us.
