garden club

Gardening Angels!

We had an eventful meeting on Sept.6th. Our cantaloupe vines are finished producing for this season so we cleared away the cantaloupe vines and will prepare the soil for our next crop. We harvested our watermelons, 3 sugar babies and our very large icebox watermelon. All gardening angels should know how to tell if a watermelon is ready to pick!  We checked on our many pumpkins and we discovered that we had one hidden in the center of our tomato vines! We are hoping to harvest these pumpkins at our next meeting. We found 4 loofah sponge gourds, and will be looking to do a bit of research on how to dry these.

We finished our meeting by eating 2 of our watermelons, and they were delicious!  We gave one to Mrs. Dickert as a thankyou for letting us grow so many good things this summer.

We will meet again on September 20th and hopefully by then the pumpkins will be ready to harvest!

Thank you Gardening Angels!

Looking forward to God's harvest!
