Winter Bounty II, from Farm to Table
Last weekend, Kathleen Neville harvested a number of winter greens from her plot while preparing for the freeze.
Her favorite recipe? It is quite simple: saute the (trimmed) greens in olive oil with garlic. Add a bit of balsamic vinegar, Parmesan and red pepper flakes. And to upgrade it a full meal: make little wells for gently cooking a few eggs.
Share you memories, ideas and food thoughts with your community members! If you have images of your favorite or specialty produce, please send the images and a short story or recipe to Kristin Phillips.
Upcoming Events
- Saturday, January 20, 10:30 am to 12 noon: Help Needed for Kids Climber Base. We need to move the dirt piles excavated from the climber base. The work will be shoveling the dirt into the front end loader of tractor so it can be moved temporarily to compost area. Please contact Jim Willmann at jhwillmann@gmail.com
Tool Shed Assistance Needed from All
Thank you again to Bob Easter for organizing the tool shed so beautifully. Here's what we can all do to help maintain the space:
- Rocks damage the wheelbarrow trays, so please do not use them to haul rocks. Bob has repaired a couple of plastic wheelbarrows because of either rocks or cold weather. Steel wheelbarrows are much better at hauling rocks.
- The tools are organized in sections in the shed. All Digging forks are in one section, Straight (Bow) and Leaf rakes in another, hoes on a rack and shovels in another area. Bob added photos and signs to show how to hang each tool, so please put the tools back clean and in the right place.
- Sunshine had switched to welded steel handles to reduce damaged and broken handles.
- There is new sand around the tool cleaning area that helps with reducing muddy shoes.
- Please, please, please clean the tools that you use before returning them to the shed.
Planning for the Plant Sale
Please start advertising the 2018 Plant Sale! Fliers and cards are available in the trailer.
