End of the School Year

It has been a very productive year for the members of Corona Grows. They have helped spruce up the garden and have managed to make our garden even better than before. There are so many great memories this year: planting new vegetables,

 harvesting them, meeting new community members, 

 seeing the blossoming flowers, 

and watching the members and community smile as their efforts are rewarded.

However, the school year ended this week and the members are off to a well-deserved summer break! Good luck to those who are graduating this year!

Of course, there will be summer projects as gardens cannot thrive without a little help. 

Big Things Often Have Small Beginnings

All things have to start somewhere. For these plants, they began as little seedlings in packets.

From there, they grew into juvenile plants stretching to reach the sun. 

Now, they have grown profusely and demonstrate a strong will to thrive in their environment. 

Peace (Peas) in the Garden

The pea plants grew rapidly in our garden and have given us plentiful amounts of peas. 

A successful harvest puts one's mind at ease and gives us satisfaction in knowing that all went well. Our efforts paid off and a large quantity of the peas were gathered last week. 

We're like peas in a pod in our similar love for the garden.

Gifting the Harvest

What fun it was to invite Corona staff to come out, harvest, and take home a bag of freshly picked radishes, collard greens, peas, kale, even carrots.

Harvest time is a time of bounty and we like to share our bounty.

A Little Encouragement Goes a Long Way

Those turnips have gotten bigger from the little seedlings they were in October. Plants are a reminder that you reap what you sow and that with love and nourishment, anything can grow. As the year passes by, we learn new ways of taking our garden and become better, more appreciative gardeners.
