Community Garden

Everyone agreed that this was the best year ever for the community garden. Every Saturday from early August through mid-September, we set up our little farm stand, and every week we were amazed at the harvest. Here's Frances and Gerald. In six or so weeks, we made more than $800 at the farm stand, which was enough to pay the water bill for the whole summer.
This amazing vine volunteered itself along our rear fence line and produced these gigantic gourds, which were much prized both among our members and the owner of a local store, who bought six of them. Gerald took one, too, with the intention of making a birdhouse out of it.
The garden benefited from all the rain we got. Everything was lush and full.
