We are nearing the end of the first week at Heritage CDC in 16 years without our beloved Ms. Bama. It has been a week of reflection and time to remember our sweet friend through stories and sharing memories and although it has been tough at times, there have been more smiles than tears in our first week without her. We miss you already.
The first delivery of our summer produce will be next week. The hot weather has not been kind to our cucumbers, they really seem to be struggling in the heat. The peppers however, seem to be loving the sunshine. We will have quite the haul for the Forest Park Ministry Center with serrano peppers, banana peppers, green bell peppers and cayenne peppers. It's been fun to see the different varieties as they have bloomed. Trying to be patient to watch green things turn red has been tough and trying to explain to 3 year olds that it's "not ready to pick" makes me feel like a broken record.
Our first time to harvest our herbs will be next week also. I've been doing a little research on trimming rosemary to use straight from the bush. I'm hesitant because I'm not really sure how much to trim...but hey, there's a first time for everything, right?
"There's rosemary, that's for remembrance; pray, love, remember, and there is pansies, that's for thoughts." ~ Shakespeare
