    Prayers of thanks for the rain!
    It's beautiful to know that the long soaking rains we have this weekend and during recent thunderstorms are providing just the right
    thirst-quenching moisture our crops need.
    Hopefully, new growth and good fruits will
    continue to sustain the harvest for ACTC.

    Thanks to "Farmer Ken" for his maintenance on Saturday, and to his harvesting 10 tomatoes and a few onions and beets. We delivered them today to ACTC.

    This evening it sprinkled rain a bit, so prior to my meeting with the Adult Ministries Committee, I watered the garden.
    It looks like a few tomatoes will be ready for harvesting in a few days.

    Sunday afternoon (after pulling up two big bags full of crabgrass and some poison ivy from the Labyrinth) we went over to the Garden for a look. It had been raining, and so everything looked refreshed. We turned over the material in the composter, and added some compost starter, plus a few red wriggler worms from my composter at home.
