Chores for the second week in July

The garden has burst into life. Weeding will be the theme this week. Please see pictures in previous post for pictures of common weeds. Please harvest the lettuces underneath the cucumber trellises. Look for cucumbers to pick. Take the hoes in the shed and use them weeding large areas like the front bed. Thank you to one of our volunteers Mary for suggesting and planting golden purslane this week(see picture above). Purslane can add zest to salads and stirfrys, it is the highest known plant source for omega 3 fatty acids and high in vitamin C.
