I’ve been saving up a lot of wonderful links to share with you, my avid readers! But first, a little news.

The garden beds are looking a bit bare, all our wonderful summer veggies were hit hard by that killing frost last weekend. Thankfully we checked the weather just in time and were able to harvest a great bunch of tomatoes to finish out our donations to the Food Bank. Despite its late start, the Plant a Row for the Hungry campaign was an overwhelming success. Between the community garden and local Winnemuccan gardeners, 347 pounds of fresh produce were donated to the Food Bank–and we are not just talking giant squash. From the children’s garden we donated 9 pounds of snap peas and 8 pounds of lettuce. Now that is a lot of food! Thank you to all who donated; the food you gave was truly appreciated. If you’re planting garlic and onions right now, throw a few extra bulbs in the ground for those who need it most!
