Today At LaSalle Square

Today we spent alot of time weeding . The garden is looking better all the time . Lots of folks harvesting , Lettuce , greens , and Peas . There is still plenty there to pick . We planted more Mustard Greens , Cauliflower , Cabbage , Basil , Oregano , Bell Pepper s , Hot Peppers , Onion , and Summer Squash . The Tomatoes are looking good , and the Zucchini should be ready in two weeks or so .

La Central Bakery

Sometimes its about something other than Vegetables . Today we had our Volunteer day at LaSalle Square . We had a great day thanks to the people that showed up to help out . Sarah , Lareen , Jeff , Brian , and Many more . We planted Corn , Watermelon , Pumpkins , and much more . But the find of the day for me was my trip out to find donuts for the volunteers . I think I passed La Central Bakery on Western & Dundee St . a hundred times , but never stopped . Now I think I will be a regular . All Kinds of Pastries just 50 or 60 cents . Nice find .

Getting Things In , Greens Are Ready

The LaSalle Square Garden is still taking shape . Planting 100's of Tomatos & Peppers . All kinds of greens are ready to harvest . Peas are looking good . Work Work Work !!

Spring Cleaning

Spring is in the air !! Last Sunday Sara & I worked to clean-up the area around the big tree at LaSalle Square garden . This area will be transformed into gathering area for friends , and neighbors . This year the garden is expanding , which is exciting news . We hope the addition of the seating area under the tree will make for a more welcome area for neighbors to enjoy . It will will also be a great area to rest while working in the garden .
