Rainbow of colors


Here is a photo taken by one of my CSA shareholders, Rose, of one of her weekly baskets. I encourage any of my clients to come for a walkabout or to assist in the weekly harvests. Of course, I would love any help I can get whether it is harvesting or the daily weeding activities.

For two seasons now Rose and her son, Joel, have come out to help me pick most everything seen in this basket. It is a great teaching opportunity, especially for young people to understand where their food comes from and the beauty of eating healthy. I gratefully field numerous questions and relish the companionship in the gardens. I must admit, I also appreciate Joel's enthusiasm to climb great heights. He and my nephew, Garrett, picked the pears!
