The Basil is starting to look good. I've made a little video to show you the way to harvest without hurting the plants. Use this method and we will have bigger and bigger plants through August.

Operation Vegetable Rescue Edmonton (sound like over)
Thanks everyone for the info and action! You guys are like a harvest SWAT team! One row taken care of! There is still another 100 pounds in the row next door. So if you love Pac Choi... get eating. Next weekend (just as it starts to bolt) we will see if we can give some more of it away. It is more ready now so harvest it up
Thanks to Jeannie and Ric for brining 40 kg to the Edmonton Food Bank and Rodney and Megan for bringing about the same (still waiting on the weigh-in statistics). It's nice to have extra, now we can replant some fall spinach (Jim)

[eogg.org] Surplus Pac Choi
The Edmonton Food Bank will gladly take the Pac Choi! No need to bag it. They will have volunteers bag it here. They are open tonight until 8pm. If it works to bring it tonight, the address is 11508-120 Street and you would bring it to the East doors, there is a buzzer there for access. The doors you want are just to the right of the main doors. The Food Bank is open during the day from 8-4pm. Judy Yawney is the Volunteer Coordinator at the Food Bank and her number is 780-425-2133.
Cheers, Jeannie

Surplus Pac Choi
Hi Folks,
We have an opportunity to provide a food bank or three with some of our surplus bounty! Is there anyone who is interested in stepping up to coordinate with local food banks and bring this crop to them?
We can all help to harvest, prep and bag it, but we need someone to take a lead on coordinating and delivery. I'm estimating about 100 pounds surplus, and if it isn't harvested, the Pac Choi will bolt! Please reply to this post if you are that Good Samaritan

Sorry that I wasn't there to help out. Spent the morning on other garden-related tasks. |

Things are starting to be ready to harvest. We'll need to get back on top of the weeds in the next few weeks. Here hoping for some sun! Travis Posterous is the place to post everything. Just email us.  |

Speed hilling and other olympic caliber farm activities.
Good session tonight everybody. We shortened our time to hill that field to just under an hour. We had about twenty five people show up! Half the membership!
That's great, now if the other half shows up Saturday we should have the weeds beaten in no time... See you Saturday, Check out the pics below. Thanks to Dyle for the Garfield comic throwback; a good reminder of what we are up against.

Potato Hilling 101
Hello Folks...
This is it. The most important activity at the farm this season. We need everyone possible out!
Wednesday evening at 6:00 PM.
We have a gigantic crop of potatoes on the horizon. It is critical that we hill the potatoes now. If not the lateral development of the tubers won't happen.
Dyle has tilled the rows up already to make hilling easy, but we need a critical mass to get this done. Please make this a priority.
