Farming in the Community Garden affords many benefits: enjoying the fresh air, sharing gardening tricks with others, and enjoying the bounty of fresh vegetables that come our way. Here is a picture of some the amazing produce from the one of our gardeners.

Alas! The sweltering heat and the natural "aging process" of our garden plants are beginning to show their effects in the garden. Vines are wilting, tomato plants are yellowing, yields are slowing or even stopping on many of our precious jewels. That means, it's a great time to begin uprooting the old and planting the new. Yes, this is a great time to begin our Fall gardens that can include more tomatoes, as well as, some of the cooler weather plants.
Don't forget, if uprooting old plants, DO NOT discard seed bearing material (e.g. old tomatoes, beans, squash, etc.) in the compost pile. Also, DO NOT put weeds or diseased plant material into the compost pile. These items should be disposed of in the trash can or taken home and disposed of properly. Happy gardening!
