Fruit growing in our garden

We're excited about the fruit that we are planting and now eating.  We've gotten some delicious strawberries, are watching peaches grow, and just planted some watermelons, honeydew and canteloupe.  Here's a look:



Party and Produce

We had a great party last week, despite the cool weather.  We enjoyed some delicious food from the garden, everything from pasta and rosemary bread to a hearty salad and lemon balm tea.  A fun chance to meet neighbors and dream about what else we can do at the garden.  Here's a bit of what we put in the salad:




If you missed this party, don't worry, we'll have more soon...

RockStAr Garden Party - Friday May 24 @ 6

Dear fellow RockStArs -
 
It's that time again - time to party at RockStAr Garden at 19th and Burke St. SE.  We'll be out there Friday night from 6pm to whenever the party ends.
 
Here are the main goals:
 
1. Get a tour of what's growing
2. Eat some delicious produce
3. Learn how to become more involved
4. Meet some fantastic fellow RockStArs
 
So whether you've been able to come out once, several times, or not yet this season, you are welcome to join us.  If you're able, bring a bit of food or drink to share.  We'll have some food, but there's always room for more!
 
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send an email.  Hope this can be a great way to kick off your Memorial Day weekend.
 
Hope to see you then!
