Yes, the harvest is always an exciting time for the community (OK. . . so this is the first community harvest - but last year harvest was an exciting time for the families independently). Really, it's not even harvest time yet. The broccoli is up, and the summer squash has started. There is even okra!! The beans are still in flower and the corn is just starting to tassel.
On the dark side, i have discovered a "new" bug this year. Never before seen in the Weeman garden (at least no by us). i foolishly bought pre-started eggplant which brought with it our surprising new visitors, who seem to be enjoying the plants to no end. So eggplant is still up in the air.
Today at our adult meeting we continued talking about incorporating. It's really weird and a bit. . .well. . . unorganicy (yes i think that is a new word) feeling. There are some perks coming out of it though. One thing we lack is a common goal, or purpose. And true to Lorna's thoughts, "If we aren't growing then it's not worth it."
So it is helping us hone our myriad thoughts and dreams down to something tangible and attainable (Lord willing). In the meantime there is a slew of paperwork and "fakey" (yes another potentially new word) organizational stuff to go do.
For now though. . . i think i will just enjoy the veggies. Simpler, yummier, more organic!

Incorporating? Will you be so-and-so Inc.? Can I patronize your corporation? :)
We have eggplants. They are beautiful. Which is good, because we have NOTHING ELSE. Too gosh darned hot here. :(
