Aug 6: CLAS Dean Robert Thomas was willingly led down the garden path by SEED Wayne coordinator, Kami Pothukuchi. He's happy to help in any way he can, he said, "as long as you don't ask me to weed!" Got it, Dean Thomas!
July 30: Baby Zuchini starting to appear! The tomatoes are also flourishing. A discerning eye will note the garden's first tomato making its appearance!

July 23: Tomatoes are staked and the rest of the bays have been planted with two types of lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts
July 2: You're looking at sage, basil, parsley, tomato, eggplant, cucumbers, squash, and flowers--cosmos and dahlia--planted. The radish and kale were planted after the 4th of July weekend. A couple of "bays" are awaiting Fall crops.
