Preparing for the Winter

Sounds like a normal thing to do for this time of the year or even earlier, but we are having extraordinary high temperatures and our eggplants, tomatoes and summer squash are still producing a little despite the drought.

But we started to prepare for the winter some beds. In the first few weeks of school the children harvested all the pumpkins, the watermelons, the sunflowers and corn, so we were able to clean up those.

It was looking like a super hard task for the garden volunteers to till all the big crops, but the Cincinnati Slow Food came to our rescue. The 25th of September was the National Slow Food Day of Service and a group of volunteer from the Cincinnati Slow food came to help us till the beds and enjoy some food at the end. For the ones of you who are not familiar with this organization "Slow Food is a no-profit global, grassroots organization with supporters in 150 countries around the world who are linking the pleasure of good food with a commitment to their community and the environment".


Cincinnati Slow Food, thanks for helping our school garden!
