The day started with picking produce and squashing bugs. The pepper harvest of all varieties was plentiful. Josee was excited to pick her first scalloped squash. Laurel picked a beautiful bumpy yellow squash, Baylee and Lenna picked onions, okra and beans.
Baylee, Josie, Laurel and Lenna weighed their harvest on scales. Local supermarket sale ads were scanned to determine the cost of the produce harvested. Everyone was surprised how much their family would save at the grocery store while still adding good nutrition to their family meals. Josie produce was worth $11.00
Everyone had fun making bird feeders and learned that birds will eat insects in the garden to feed to their young. Bird feeder also bring unwanted pests such as squirrels and raccoons to the garden.
The upcoming trip to the Salvation Army Food Bank was discussed. if desired everyone can bring a canned good from home to donate. Gardeners can donate from their Monday's garden harvest if desired.
Miss Kathy brought delicious pumpkin and zucchini bread for a snack.
