Through storms, drought, and excessive heat this social garden thrives!

Tina's Corner: Zucchini Boats!

Using some extra zucchini  from my garden I came up with this amazing summer dish!….I sliced each zucchini long ways, hollowed them out, shredded the middle part, mixed the shredded zucchini with fat free cream cheese, 1 egg, fresh parmesan cheese and some garlic powder and Italian seasoning. I added a spread of just a little bit of tomato sauce in the “zucchini boats” and topped with the mixture…put more fresh parmesan cheese on top and baked them at 400 for about 1/2hour….

Team Tidwell: The Radish and the Garden Plan!

For the second year in a row, Harold & I are planting a garden here @ St. Leonard.  This afternoon (hot as you know what!) we were working up there.  He was using the roto tiller and I was on my hands and knees (need sympathy!) pulling the weeds.  I found this radish (only one!)!  We will split it for supper this evening.  The lettuce should be ready by this w/e.  The only items that we have planted so far are onions (almost ready), radishes, lettuce, several kinds of beans and carrots.  He "prefers" that I do NOT plant pumpkins this year.  I couldn't help it last year that they seemed to take over the garden!  Will let you know when we set up our vegetable stand. ~Cathy

Team Home and Garden: Social Vegetable Garden Update!

The social vegetable gardens have been plotted off and different families are laying out their garden for the spring 2012 planting. If you look closely you can see the roped off sections where neighbors will be "leaning over the fence" to share gardening secrets and fun!

Supervisor Tom Hess prepared the ground for this year's social vegetable garden. Soon we will see the garden plots sectioned off and the beginnings of each family's tried and tested formulas and social wisdom for gardening fun!
