If Life Gives You Lemons, Grow Tomatoes

After receiving a great batch of lemons (thanks Jenn, Mike and your neighbors), Brenna and Colin hosted a Lemonade stand with Karen and MeMe on April 6th.  With the money they raised, they wanted to give back to the Center Avenue Community Garden, so they stopped by Navlet's Garden Center, purchased  a few Cherry Tomato starts, and planted them in the new Tomato Patch. Here are some pics of the teamwork they displayed!

We headed down to Navlet's, and they each picked out a cherry tomato plant on April 29th. Here....

....and here.

Colin transported the plants to the counter, with money in hand.

And Brenna made the transaction.

Brenna dropped the plants into the new tomato patch....

.....and Colin gave them a good soak.

Freshly planted cherry tomato plants surrounded by Winter's kale and fava bean ground cover - now that's some permaculture teamwork!
