Summer 2024 - Week 4

As the warm weather stabilizes after our recent heat wave, it’s finally time to plant more crops in our Food Forest! While our raspberries unfortunately did not fair too well from the period of intense temperatures, our onions, bushes, and fruit trees continue to thrive. Adding into that mix is 12 new variegated tomato plants! Donated by our partner at Loyola University, Emma Pierce, these juvenile plants were set up with trellises in between our trees, along with fresh compost provided by First Presbyterian to help ensure healthy growth.
