Despite the lack of rain...

We have had very little rain in the past month, but thanks to a dedicated watering crew and abundant sunshine, the community garden is flourishing (but it would be even better if it had a nice rain, so pray for rain!). 

We have harvested broccoli and swiss chard and brought them over to the food pantry.  The broccoli will be done soon but the swiss chard will keep growing.

Here's a few other exciting updates:

We constructed a trellis for the bean plants to grow up.  The bean plants are already loving being able to send vines up the trellis.

The pea plants are about 2 feet tall now and have pretty white flowers on them:

Here's a flower on a cantaloupe plant (the fruit will grow where the flowers are):

And the prize for the most ginormous leaf goes to:

The cucumber plants are growing up their fence:

The swiss chard is growing well and colorful and even grows back more when we cut some away.

Right in the middle there you can see a zucchini starting to grow! (it's horizontal and has light and dark green stripes):
